Driver guilty of murdering 16-year-old in Darnall
A 21-year-old driver has been found guilty of murdering a 16-year-old boy after mounting the pavement and striking him with a car in Sheffield.
Abdullah Yaser Abdullah Taleb died when he was hit by an Audi driven by Zulkernain Ahmed on Staniforth Road in the Darnall area on 4 June.

His brother, Armaan Ahmed, was cleared of murder but convicted of manslaughter and an alternative charge of wounding. Adam Mohammed was cleared of all charges.
