A father-of-four was murdered by a group of "seven or eight lads" brandishing machetes outside a Chinese takeaway in the West Midlands in a brutal case of "mistaken identity". The 34-year-old victim, Yassir Alam from Nelson, Lancashire, was with a male cousin of his visiting family members in Dudley when a van suddenly rammed into the takeaway window before the attackers jumped out, chased him, and hacked him to death.
The Costcutter store owner was stabbed in the back three times as he was trying to run away and was pronounced dead at the scene at around 10 pm on December 4. The men reportedly jumped out of the van with weapons that included the machete which killed Yassir, The Daily Mail reported.
