Detectives may never know why thug organised cold blooded execution of taxi driver

A thug who organised a hit on a taxi boss has been found guilty of manslaughter. Akeel Hussain, 23, helped arrange the carefully-planned attack on Mohammed Haroon Zeb, 39, in January 2021. The victim was killed in a drive-by shooting captured on CCTV.

The dad-of-four died after being shot in the head in Dudley, West Mids, on his birthday following a bitter family feud. Shocking video footage shows a Volkswagen Golf slowing down before flashes can be seen from the passenger window as five shots were fired.
