Taxi boss arrested on suspicion of murdering a man he hit in his car

A 63-year-old man is arrested on suspicion of deliberately running over a love rival in his Mercedes S Class car

A taxi driver has been arrested on suspicion of murder after a man he suspected of being his estranged wife’s new lover was mown down by a car in a residential street.

The victim, a man in his 60s, was killed after being struck by a Mercedes S Class car shortly before 8.30pm on Saturday night in a cul-de-sac in Chelmsford, Essex.

Residents of the street where the incident took place claimed the man arrested was the owner of a local taxi firm whose wife had recently left him.

One local said: “They were a lovely family. The parents split up and the woman had been telling us only yesterday about how happy she was with her new chap. The police told us there were two men involved and one knocked the other down.”

Neighbour Dave McCraig, 46, an HGV driver, said: “It was about 8 or 8.30pm in the evening when I heard a thud. After a couple of seconds I could hear a car roar off up the road.

“I was told the guy drove up onto the pavement and hit him before backing up over him.”

Mr McCraig, who has lived in the street for 18-years, said paramedics attempted to resuscitate the victim on the pavement where he lay.

But the man, who had suffered horrific injuries, was pronounced dead at the scene a short time later.

A police spokesman would not speculate whether the victim had been on the pavement or in the road when they were struck by the vehicle.

A short time after the accident officers from Kent and Essex Serious Crime Directorate said a 63-year-old man from Chelmsford had been arrested on suspicion of murder.

He was arrested at Chelmsford Police station but it was not clear if he handed himself in.

Locals said the family used to live in Osea Way, where the incident took place, but had moved to another part of Chelmsford several years ago.

It is understood the couple’s daughter and son-in-law still lived in the street and the estranged wife had been seen visiting her family earlier in the evening.

Appealing for witnesses, DCI Marina Ericson, who is leading the investigation, said: “My team would like to speak to anybody who may have witnessed what happened last night and I would urge anybody that has not already spoken to officers to come forward.

“We will be continuing with our investigation today and part of Osea Way will remain cordoned off whilst our forensic examinations continue.”

Taxi boss to go on trial over murder of estranged wife's partner


The trial of a taxi boss accused of murdering his estranged wife's partner in Chelmsford is expected to begin.

Nasser Rezaie was driving a Mercedes S Class when he allegedly killed fellow cabbie Allan Frampton, 60, in a quiet cul-de-sac.

The 63-year-old owner of Ali's Taxis, from Petersfield, Chelmsford, denies the murder in Osea Way on May 9.

Mr Frampton died from multiple injuries after being hit by a car. He had been in a relationship with the defendant's wife at the time.

After Mr Frampton's death, his family issued a statement saying: "We can't even begin to understand the events that took place on Saturday evening.

"A loving father, caring partner and doting grandad was taken from us far too early. With so much to look forward to, his life was cruelly taken away."

The jury will be sworn in at Chelmsford Crown Court before prosecutor Peter Gair opens the case.

The trial is expected to last up to four weeks.

Taxi driver warned estranged wife he would kill her new boyfriend a year before running him over

The estranged wife of a taxi boss has told a court how she feared her husband would kill her new man for a year before he did.

Chelmsford Crown Court heard Nasser Rezaie, 63, ran over mechanic Allan Frampton, 60, six times, a year after he first told estranged wife Jane: “This is the end.”

Rezaie, who was married to wife Jane, 57, for 38 years, denies murder but accepts he did kill the divorced grandfather.

His defence intends to argue his actions were as a result of a loss of control and were not premeditated.

On the evening Mr Frampton died, Jane Rezaie told the jury of eight men and four women she was with her new man at her son Nader's home, in Chelmsford, Essex, when they saw Rezaie in a silver Mercedes car.

She said: “I said 'that's him'. I said to Nader, 'you better go inside and we will go home'.

“I went and got into the driver sear of the car and Nader went inside his house.

“Allan went to the boot of the car – I thought he was getting into the passenger seat, but he went to back and slammed the boot and went charging of up the street.

“I shouted, 'get back here several times, but Allan said, 'I have had enough of this.'”

Nader and one of his neighbours followed Mr Frampton while Jane stayed at the house with Nader's wife Victoria.

An emotional Mrs Rezaie, who was giving evidence from behind screens, added: “We were both terrified about what was going to happen.

“I heard a loud bang. I thought Allan had been shot, it was so loud.

“Nader came back down towards the house and told me to ring the police and Victoria to ring the ambulance.

“Victoria went to the end of the road and I stayed at the front of the house. Nader told me not to go up to see Allan.”

Seconds after Mrs Rezaie heard the loud bang, she told the court Rezaie drove away from the scene in the direction he had come from “at speed”.

She added: “I knew it was him.

“I saw his face. He was wearing a baseball cap.”

The incident took place on May 9, this year, 11 months after Rezaie, who runs Ali's Taxis, found out his wife was having an affair with Mr Frampton, a mechanic.

In June 2014, the court heard Rezaie returned from a long stint in his native Iran to find out Mrs Rezaie has started a relationship with Mr Frampton.

During a heated argument, the court heard he threw her possessions downstairs and told her to leave the house.

Mrs Rezaie said: “It just came out of the blue.

“I was scared.

“He wanted my phone and I had hidden it because I didn't want him to have it. It was my property.”

The police were called and as Mr Rezaie was being restrained by police, he told his wife: “This is the end. I promise you, this is the end.”

She added: “He sat bolt upright, rigid and his eyes were black.”

The court was also played an argument, recorded between the couple on Mr Frampton's voicemail the next day, during which Rezaie punched Mrs Rezaie and swore repeatedly at her.

When Mr Frampton picked up the voicemail, he immediately called the police.

The court was also played a recorded conversation between the estranged couple weeks later in a supermarket cafe, during which Mr Rezaie threatened to kill Mr Frampton in his native language, Farsi.

In a voicemail message later left on Mrs Rezaie's phone and played to the jury, her husband is heard to say: “Don't forget what I told you in Sainsbury's.

“You haven't seen nothing yet.”

When asked by prosecutor Peter Gair, “what did you understand from that?”, Mrs Rezaie replied: “I understood he was telling me he still had a plan to kill Allan and he intended to carry it out.”

In a second voicemail message, Rezaie told his wife: “Don't walk too close to him when you walk together.”

In a third message, Rezaie added: “Every day, every hour, every second, I am thinking of the promise I made you in Sainsbury's.

“I will do it.”

Mrs Rezaie, 57, met her husband in Iran in March 1973.

The pair married in December 1976 when she was aged 18.

She had previously moved to the middle eastern country aged 13 because her step father worked for a US telecoms firm.

Mr Frampton and Mrs Rezaie formed a relationship in 2012 while the defendant was out of the country for a long time on business.

As well as running Ali's Taxis with his wife, Rezaie was also a high-end property developer in Iran.

The trial continues…

Cabbie's murder trial hears of £70k debts and forgery at Chelmsford firm Ali's Taxis


The estranged wife of the taxi boss who allegedly murdered her new boyfriend today admitted buying a car with their firm's credit card.

Jane Rezaie, 57, was giving evidence in the trial where Nasser Rezaie is accused of running over Allan Frampton at least six times in May this year.

Defence barrister Patrick Upward QC, in re-examining the prosecution witness, focused on the Rezaies' struggle to fund and run their Ali's Taxis business.

Jane was first forced to reveal that the pair briefly separated in 1999, leaving all three children with Rezaie, but that they rekindled the marriage soon after.

She later said the pair got back together partly because: "He told me I would never see the children. My daughter was 13 and I was worried she would be taken back to Iran."

He went on to scrutinise her running of Ali's Taxis when Rezaie was away in Iran.

The court heard Jane used the company credit card to pay bills, that the card racked up debts of over £70,000 and how she apparently forged Rezaie's signature in order to sell off some taxis.

"I didn't use any of the money for myself apart from I bought my VW Golf which was £1,500 and that's the only money I took for myself," said Jane, who told the court Rezaie took up to £400,000 from Ali's Taxis to fund his property developing side project in Iran.

Jane also insisted Rezaie had fallen out of love with her in 1990, despite his protestations, and added: "Someone who loves you doesn't miss special occasions, doesn't fail to come back from Iran for three Christmases, doesn't buy a present for my birthday and instead gives the money to my daughter for the presents.

"I can't agree, (that he loves me), I'm sorry."

Mr Upward also suggested Rezaie's punch on Jane was "in the struggle for the phone".

But Jane said Rezaie had already put the phone back in his pocket before striking her.

Mr Upward also started laying the foundations for a possible self-defence argument, when he suggested Mr Frampton, when he confronted Rezaie on May 9, 2015, was more "angry" than upset.

He also asked Jane why he would take a club out of the boot to confront Rezaie if he just wanted to tell him to simply "leave them alone".

Clearly provoked, Jane ended up asking Mr Upward back: "Sir, do you know how heavy an S Class Mercedes (200 tonnes) is?"

The court also heard Jane drove to Scotland with Mr Frampton to be with family only days after Rezaie allegedly dislocated her thumb.

Jane said: "I was in so much shock that I wasn't aware it was dislocated. It was not until the Friday (five days later) I realised."

Jane Rezaie finished giving her evidence today. The trial will resume tomorrow when the prosecution calls the eldest Rezaie child, Nader, to the stand.

Rezaie pleads not guilty to the one count of murder.

'We were kindred spirits': Estranged wife Jane Rezaie speaks at Chelmsford taxi boss' murder trial


A mother-of-three and her new boyfriend were like "kindred spirits" before her estranged husband ran him over six times and murdered him, a court heard.

Jane Rezaie, 57, took to the stand today as the first witness in the Chelmsford Crown Court murder trial surrounding taxi boss Nasser Rezaie, 63 and victim Allan Frampton, 60.

She told how she had been unhappily married to Rezaie since 1990 and had thought about killing herself.

She also described the dramatic day Rezaie discovered she and divorcee Mr Frampton were having an affair, before emptying her wardrobe, stealing her mobile phone and punching her.

"It just came out of the blue," said Jane.

"He was shouting very loudly. I said 'don't do this, can't we just talk about this?' He said 'no, I don't want you anymore'.

"He said that there was something wrong with me because I didn't want to sleep with him and that I must be ill and should have gone to the doctor.

"I was scared, I felt at the time it would escalate."

Rezaie, the owner of Chelmsford firm Ali's Taxis, is accused of murdering grandfather and father-of-two Allan Frampton with his silver S Class Mercedes estate at about 8.40pm on Saturday, May 9.

Prosecutor Peter Gair opened the case against Rezaie on Wednesday last week describing how the fateful day was a culmination of jealous rage.

Iran

Jane, who the prosecution today called to the stand, told the court how she met Rezaie in Iran after her own family moved there at age 13 due to her father's work for American Telecommunications.

The couple married, moved to Oxford in August 1978 as the Iranian revolution intensified, and moved to Chelmsford in March 1981.

The court heard how Rezaie's Hackney Carriage firm Ali's Taxis, a nod to the nickname so many British passengers gave him, grew rapidly after 1995 and had as many as 19 vehicles by 2001.

Jane became the firm's secretary, organising shifts, checking oil levels, advertising, washing cars, liaising with mechanics over repairs and driving on weekends.

But Jane said the marriage had "not been good" since 1990, adding: "I had thought about killing myself many times because I was so unhappy."

She added: "But I had three children who I wanted to make sure were okay and were out into the world."

She said that things "changed in her mind" however in the middle of July 2012.

Jane said: "My son Nader got married on July 14, and we had a very, very, difficult week in the build up to the wedding.

"Two days before the wedding I decided I can't do this anymore. My brother came over from Northern Ireland and my sister from Scotland and I was really happy to have all my family there.

"You want everything to be perfect, the way you should have it, but it was just the most horrible week.

"He (Rezaie) had no interest in what was going on. I remember I just sat down on the floor of the kitchen and just thought about how someone could be so indifferent about such a special wedding, I just couldn't get my head around it."

The court heard Jane started the affair in August 2012 with Mr Frampton, a mechanic for Ali's Taxis, and continued to in 2013 when Rezaie apparently spent 33 weeks in Iran over the course of "six or seven visits".

Affair

"We got on really well from the beginning," she said.

"I suppose it was a gradual build-up of finding someone you have so much in common with and have normal conversations with.

"I just realised that we were getting closer and closer and in my heart I realised this was the person I wanted to be with.

"He understood where I was coming from and I understood where he was coming from. We realised we had similar backgrounds and were brought up in a similar way so had so much in common and I think it was that common background that brought us together.

"I suppose I just switched into being with Allan, at weekends we would go out, do social things, go to castles, museums and go for drives.

"I was happy, relaxed, calm, just completely a different person. Content."

Jane said Rezaie came back from work on Sunday, June 8, 2014, to their home in Petersfield, which they bought in 2004, and started throwing out her clothes from the wardrobe.

"They all got thrown down the stairs," she said. "And he kept on going on about wanting my phone.

"I didn't want him to have my phone. It was my property, and anyway, he didn't want me there so I was picking up my stuff to leave."

The court heard Rezaie allegedly pushed her against the front door and dislocated her thumb as he snatched her mobile phone.

Their eldest child Nader, 34, apparently later arrived to play "mediator" between the pair, and told them: "You have to sort this out, the marriage was over a long time ago".

Rezaie apparently became upset and insisted he was still in love with Jane.

Police were eventually called to resolve the dispute, and recover her mobile phone – which Rezaie allegedly said he had "thrown into the river" – before paramedics actually took Rezaie to hospital after he appeared to suffer a "fit" on the floor.

"He was lashing about so much that police officers had to handcuff him," she said.

The court heard Rezaie returned to the house at 6.30am on Monday, June 9, and after digging out the mobile phone which he'd hidden in the car, demanded she call Mr Frampton.

"I was really, really scared, and I thought I have to get dressed in case I need to leave quickly," she said.

"I said 'you know about me and Allan, you don't need to look at my phone' but he went on and on for such a long time, I said 'fine have the phone'."

Rezaie found a brief voicemail from Mr Frampton, in which he told Jane he loved her.

She added: "He got really angry at that and decided that he would call Allan from my phone and I would speak to him. He threw the phone into my face but I just pursed my lips."

Jane started sobbing in front of jurors as she described Rezaie punching her.

"He flung his arm back and the full force hit me under the mouth on the chin," she said.

"I screamed and I cried and he just said 'sorry' and how he shouldn't have done that, how he promised Nader 'I would not hit you'.

Jurors were played a voicemail which recorded precisely this dialogue, as Rezaie did not hang up the phone after ringing Mr Frampton.

The jury also heard a conversation between the Rezaies on Friday, June 20, 2014, which Jane secretly recorded on her phone, when the two met at the Sainsbury's café in Springfield.

Rezaie is recorded asking for Mr Frampton's address in Hatfield Peverel, telling her "you are still my wife" and Jane can be heard saying "killing is wrong".

In other voicemails to Jane's phone, Rezaie appears to speak in his native Farsi before saying "you aint seen nothing yet" and saying: "Don't walk too close to him when you walk together".

The court also heard how Rezaie fitting a GPS tracking device to Jane's black VW Golf and how she and Mr Frampton, who she moved in with in late June 2014, would spot Rezaie's silver Mercedes stalking them.

Dramatic

Jane also told jurors she and Mr Frampton were visiting Nader and his wife's home in Osea Way, in Springfield, which is where the Rezaie family lived until 2004, to help fix a fence on May 9, 2015.

At about 8.30pm, as Jane, Nader and Mr Frampton stood outside the front door, they spotted Rezaie's silver Mercedes about 50 metres up the road in the Springfield cul-de-sac.

"Allan got in the car (the VW Golf), went to the boot, slammed the boot, and then he went charging off up the road," said Jane.

"I shouted 'get back here now' several times, but all I heard him say was 'I've had enough of this'."

Through sobbing tears, Jane told jurors how, while she stood "terrified" with Nader's wife Victoria outside the house, she heard a "loud bang" from up the road but out of sight.

She apparently saw Rezaie drive off before Nader emerged demanding that Victoria ring for an ambulance while he call police.

Jurors have already watched a resident's CCTV footage which appears to show Rezaie's silver Mercedes drive and reverse over Mr Frampton at least six times.

In defence barrister Patrick Upward QC's re-examination, he focused on how Rezaie and Jane had struggled to fund and run the Ali' Taxis business.

Jane Rezaie finished giving her evidence today. The trial will resume tomorrow when the prosecution calls the eldest Rezaie child, Nader, to the stand.

Rezaie pleaded not guilty to the one count of murder.

Chelmsford taxi boss 'collapsed' after learning of wife's affair



A man accused of murdering his love rival has told a court how he "collapsed" after his wife admitted she had been having an affair.

Taxi firm boss Nasser Rezaie, 63, of Petersfield in Chelmsford, is accused of murdering Allan Frampton in May.

Mr Rezaie told Chelmsford Crown Court he noticed his wife's behaviour had changed when he returned from a trip to Iran in 2013.

He denies murder but accepts killing the 60-year-old divorced grandfather.

He argues his actions were a result of losing control and were not premeditated.

Mr Rezie told the jury his wife Jane had started wearing false eyelashes and making regular trips to the hairdressers when he returned from Tehran.

She admitted the 10-month affair with Mr Frampton, who rented a car workshop unit from the couple's taxi firm, after a confrontation with Mr Rezaie in June last year, he said.

The court previously heard Mr Rezaie made threats to kill Mr Frampton over the phone, which were recorded by Mrs Rezaie.

The jury was told he repeatedly ran over Mr Frampton with his silver Mercedes in Osea Way in Chemsford 11 months later.

Mr Frampton, a mechanic, died at the scene from multiple injuries.

Mr Rezaie broke down in tears as he told the court how his relationship with his children suffered following the breakdown of his marriage.

He said they were angry with him and admitted he had written "terrible things" in a series of Facebook posts in June and July 2014.

He also described how his business, Ali's Taxis, had suffered after the breakdown of his relationship with his wife, and alleged she had run up debts of £176,000 which he had to pay off.

The trial continues.

Taxi driver Nasser Rezaie found guilty of murdering Allan Frampton in Chelmsford



A taxi firm boss who repeatedly ran over his estranged wife’s new partner has been convicted of murder in a “tragic case of revenge”.

Nasser Rezaie drove over Allan Frampton several times in Osea Way, Springfield, after following Mr Frampton and Jane Rezaie to the street.

Rezaie, 63, then drove to Chelmsford police station to report the incident as an accident.

The murder took place on the evening of May 9.

A jury took less than three hours to reach a unanimous guilty verdict following a trial lasting nearly four weeks at Chelmsford Crown Court

During the trial jurors were shown CCTV footage of the murder, which has been deemed too harrowing for public release.

Rezaie, of Petersfield, Chelmsford, had a tracking device fitted to his ex-wife’s car allowing him to stalk her and Mr Frampton over a number of weeks.

Detective Chief Inspector Marina Ericson, senior investigating officer, said: “I would like to express how pleased I am with the guilty verdict that has been passed today.

“The jury has clearly taken time to consider all the facts in this case, including the previous threats and months of harassment directed at both Jane Rezaie and Allan Frampton.

“Nasser Rezaie had previously made mention of wanting to cause harm to Allan, and purposely went to Osea Way that evening to do just that.

“As was seen from the CCTV images of the incident itself, Rezaie used his Mercedes car as a weapon, to deliberately drive over Allan repeatedly with the intention of causing him significant harm, and thus destroy the relationship Allan and Mrs Rezaie had formed.

“His actions on that day have caused devastation to the whole family, which will remain with them for the rest of their lives.

“My thoughts continue to be with the family at this time. I hope this verdict and the fact Rezaie will be imprisoned for a very long time will help them to rebuild their lives and move forward from this tragic incident.”

In a statement released after the verdict the Frampton family said: “We have been left utterly devastated by the way in which our lovely father and grandfather was cruelly and spinelessly taken from us.

“Nasser Rezaie’s callous bid for revenge has not only robbed us of a loving father and grandfather, it’s turned our life and his own children’s lives upside down.

“We would like to thank the jury for reaching a verdict of murder and realising that Rezaie was hell-bent on taking our father’s life long before he killed him. Now we have found justice for him and he can rest in peace.

“We will continue to speak about our father with great happiness so that he will always be remembered as a happy, generous, loving, kind man.

“We thank our family and friends for all the support they have given us during this devastating time.”

Doug Mackay, East of England district crown prosecutor said: “This was a tragic case of revenge following the break-up of Mr Rezaie’s marriage to his wife Jane, and her making a new life with her partner, Mr Frampton.

“The prosecution case was that Mr Rezaie had threatened the couple with violence over a period of time and this was a pre-meditated and deliberate attack by a controlling man who was consumed with jealousy.

“This has been a distressing case for Mrs Rezaie and her family, and the family and friends of Mr Frampton, and we would like to pay tribute to Mrs Rezaie’s courage in giving evidence.”

Chelmsford taxi boss Nasser Rezaie handed 18-year prison sentence for murdering Allan Frampton



Nasser Rezaie will serve 18 years in prison

A Chelmsford taxi driver described by a judge as a "bitter, twisted and dominating man" will serve a minimum of 18 years behind bars after he was found guilty of murdering his estranged wife's new partner last week.

Following a four-week trial, Ali's Taxis boss Nasser Rezaie, 63, of Petersfield, Chelmsford, was found guilty of murdering cabbie and mechanic Allan Frampton by a jury at Chelmsford Crown Court.

Rezaie was arrested after grandfather Mr Frampton was struck by a Silver Mercedes which mounted a pavement in Osea Way, Chelmsford, Essex.

The 60-year-old grandfather from Hatfield Peverel died at the scene on May 9 of this year, with Rezaie sentenced this morning (November 9) by Judge Charles Gratwicke.
