Suhail Choudry murder: three charged over death of 35-year-old in Keighley

The 35-year-old was found with serious head injuries in Flasby Street, Keighley, shortly after 3.14am on Sunday, February 8. Father-of-two Suhail, who was expecting a third child with his wife Zara, died of his injuries on Wednesday, 11 February.

A murder investigation was launched and detectives investigating his death have now charged three men.

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.

The trio have been remanded into custody to appear at Bradford Magistrates Court later this morning (February 24).

Two further people have been arrested in connection with the investigation. A 36-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of assisting an offender and a 26-year-old woman has been arrested on suspicion for conspiracy to commit murder.

Both remain in police custody this morning.

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.

“I want to appeal today for any information, no matter how big or small to please contact the police. Suhail deserves justice, not just for him but for his daughter, son and unborn child.”

Senior Investigating Officer, Detective Chief Inspector Matt Holdsworth, added: “Suhail’s family are completely devastated at his death in such sudden and violent circumstances, and we remain absolutely determined to keep doing everything we can to make sure that those responsible for his murder are brought to justice.”
