19 Feb 2008 22 years jail for taxi driver's murderer MURDERER Mohammed Mahroof Mustafa was sentenced to 22 years in prison today for stabbing a taxi driver to death. The 21-year-old from Mentmore Road, High Wycombe, appeared at Reading Crown Court this morning to be sentenced for the murder of 39-year-old High Wycombe cabbie Mohammed Mahroof. During a nine-day trial, the court heard that Mustafa and Asif Akram Mohammed had planned to rob a taxi driver at knifepoint last May. But the plan went wrong after Mustafa got into the cab to carry out the robbery and ended up plunging the serrated kitchen knife into Mr Mahroof's neck, fatally wounding him. Judge Christopher Tyrer told him: "Yours was a desperate act born of no more than a determination to obtain money with which to buy alcohol." He added: "Only you know what went on between you and Mr Mahroof during the 20-odd minutes that you and he were in his taxi. He must have become increasingly suspicious and anxious; his final moments terrifying as he tried to get help - you having left him to his fate and run away. "He must have known how serious was his plight; he may well have realised that he was dying." Taking all mitigating factors into account, Judge Tyrer concluded the minimum sentence Mustafa must serve is 22 years, less the six days he spent in custody on remand awaiting trial. Victim Mr Mahroof from Chiltern Avenue, left his wife Parween and two children Qamran and Anika. Speaking after the sentencing, his family said: "No sentence is enough for the innocent life which has been taken away from us but we are happy that he got what he deserved and that he won't be on the street for a long time." Asif Akram Mohammed, Mustafa's co-defendant, will be sentenced at a later date. The 26-year-old, from Roberts Road, High Wycombe, was cleared of murder but found guilty of manslaughter having provided the knife used in the botched robbery.

I think 22 years is a good sentence, well actually it's a bad sentence, but compared with some a good one. If you get my drift. |
