Asylum seeker sentenced to life for revenge terror killing

A Moroccan asylum seeker has been sentenced to life in jail for murder, with a minimum term of 45 years, at Teesside Crown Court.

In October last year, 45-year-old Ahmed Alid stabbed Iranian Christian convert Javed Nouri at the house he was sharing with other asylum seekers before looking for more victims in Hartlepool town centre.

He then stabbed and killed 70-year-old Terence Carney who was out for his regular early morning walk.

Alid told police he had committed his crimes out of “revenge” for Israel killing children in the Palestinian conflict.
