Birkby house fire: Shahid Mohammed guilty of murdering eight people
A man has been found guilty of murdering eight members of the same family, whose home was set alight with petrol bombs while they slept.
Mohammed took part in the attack with Shaied Iqbal, who was convicted of eight counts of murder at a trial in 2003. Prosecutor Alistair MacDonald QC said:"All those who were upstairs were overwhelmingly likely to be trapped on the upper floors by the fire that rapidly developed once the petrol had been ignited."
