A murdered man whose body was found in a shed was previously a victim and witness of a terrifying attack, that left his father brain damaged. Dil Nawaz, then aged 66, was beaten-up with cricket bats and golf clubs after a car driven by Zafran Nawaz overturned in Yardley Green Road, Bordesley Green, on August 1, 2010.
The pensioner as a result suffered extreme memory loss and was unable to read or process new information. The Birmingham Crown Court heard was the result of a “decade-long feud”.
The Birmingham Mail has revealed Eleven people – including two 15-year-old schoolboys – were arrested on suspicion of murder after 34-year-old Zafran Nawaz’s remains were discovered at an address in Carlton Road, Bordesley Green, at 11.30pm on Friday. He was reported missing last Thursday afternoon. His car, a white Toyota Yaris, was discovered a mile away from Carlton Road in Adderley Road on Friday.
Previously four men and a youth were jailed for a total of 45 years in 2011 for attacking Mr Nawaz’s father. The thugs involved all admitted wounding with intent. Speaking after the sentencing, Mr Nawaz, who also had two nephews with him in the car, said he feared he and his relatives would all die.
West Midlands Police said it was working on a number of lines of enquiry in connection with Mr Nawaz’s death. Anyone with information should call police on 101 or Crimestoppers, in confidence, on 0800 555 111.
