Relatives of a man who was stabbed to death in a Leicester street say they are dismayed two of his killers are reportedly applying for parole. Nazir Sheikh was stabbed during a street robbery in St Saviours Road, Highfields, Leicester, in March 2010.

Joshua Goffe, then aged 20 and Shafee Shabbaz, then 19, were convicted of manslaughter and conspiracy to rob Mr Sheikh and were each jailed for five-and-a-half years following a trial at Leicester Crown Court. A third man, Terrance Carlos, then aged 19 was convicted of murder and conspiracy to rob. He is serving a minimum of 20 years.
