Three men found guilty of murdering teenager Fahad Nur by stabbing him through the heart in a Cardiff lane

Two brothers and their friend have been found guilty of the murder an 18-year-old man in a brutal knife attack in a Cardiff lane.

Mustafa and Abdulgalil Aldobhani and Shafique Shaddad had denied murdering Fahad Nur but were unanimously convicted by a jury at Cardiff Crown Court after a two-month trial.

When he opened the case in November, prosecutor Michael Jones QC described a “brutal” and “relentless” attack.

“Such was the ferocity of that attack that he sustained multiple stab and slash wounds, 21, including a fatal stab injury to his heart. He died of those injuries at the University Hospital of Wales. He was 18 at the time of his death," said Mr Jones.

A witness said he saw Mr Nur bundled up and his attackers kicking him in the head and one in the stomach as he clenched up  on the floor.

He described realising the teenager had been stabbed and said he flickered in an out of consciousness.

Mr Nur died of his injuries following an incident at around 12.25am on June 2 last year, which happened in a lane linking Park Place and Corbett Road in Cathays .

The jury retired to consider their verdicts on Monday, January 27.

Mustafa Aldobhani, 22, who does not have a fixed address; Abdulgalil Aldobhani, 23, from Cathays Terrace; and Shaddad, 25, from Louisa Place, will be sentenced at a later date

Aseel Arar, 35, the girlfriend of Abdulgalil Aldobhani, bought flight tickets for the two of them to Morocco via Portugal but they were arrested at Heathrow as they boarded the aircraft.

Arar,from Middle Park Road in Birmingham, had been charged with assisting an offender, which she denied, but she was also found guilty by the jury.
