In a statement, a West Yorkshire Police spokesperson said: “A man who was arrested yesterday on suspicion of the murder of Suhail Choudry has now been charged.

“Waseem Islam, aged 39, of East Avenue, Keighley, has been charged with murder. He has been remanded in custody to appear at Bradford Magistrates’ Court later today.”

Choudry was found with serious head injuries in Flasby Street, Keighley, shortly after 3.14am on February 8. The father-of-two, who was expecting a third child with his wife Zara, died of his injuries on February 11.

Mohammed Aliyan Khan, 23, Faisal Khan, 26, both of Malsis Road, and 27-year-old Hakeem Gulzar, of Plover Street, have all been charged with murder, possession of an offensive weapon in a public place and violent disorder.

Paying tribute to her husband, Zara Choudry said: “On the early morning of Suhail’s attack, when I received a phone call, I could never have imagined what the coming days would bring.

“Suhail was a father before anything; it was his proudest title, and he was their world. Telling our children their daddy has passed away is something no mother should have to do. We will never find peace with the brutality in which he left us.”
