A man is facing jail after being found guilty of helping a murder suspect flee to Syria. Mohammed Syadul Hussain gave Mohammed Abdul Kadir getaway money - used to head for ISIS-occupied territory - after Kadir allegedly bludgeoned an elderly faith healer to death in Rochdale. Hussain, 25, from Rochdale, denied assisting an offender in a Manchester Crown Court trial, but was found unanimously guilty on Monday.
Murder victim Jalal Uddin practised taweez - an Islamic form of faith healing involving ‘spells, amulets and numerology’ - which is viewed by religious extremists as ‘black magic’, jurors were told. Last year Mohammed Syeedy, 22, also from Rochdale, was convicted of Mr Uddin’s murder and was jailed for life.
