Jahanzeb Ismail (44), a convicted killer has been sentenced to nine years imprisonment for threatening a family with a loaded Uzi sub-machine gun.
Bradford Crown Court was told that Ismail had gone to the home of Aftab Hussain as a revenge mission, after believing threats were made by Hussain to his family.
Prosecutor, Gurdial Singh, informed the court that Ismail was heard shouting that he was going to kill Aftab Hussain.
He also caused damage to a Volkswagen Golf car parked outside the house.
Jahanzeb Ismail pleaded guilty to possessing a firearm with intent to cause fear of violence.
The court was also informed that he had previous been jailed in 1999, for seven years for the manslaughter of Nighat Afzal (26), who he shot dead with a Beretta handgun, as well as in November 2011, for five-and-a-half years, for attempted robbery, after threatening a petrol station cashier with a part of a vacuum cleaner, pretending it was a gun.
While sentencing, Judge Roger Thomas QC told Ismail, “The people who were in the house you went to must have been absolutely and utterly terrified by what was going on. You had some sort of grievance against Aftab Hussain, it was not clear what it was. It put you in such a state of mind. It put you in an agitated mood. But Mr Hussain was not present, he was abroad.”
He further stated, “This is as bad a case of its type that one can come across. It was a terrible weapon capable of repeated firing. When the gun was recovered it was loaded. This offence occurred 12 months to the date after you had been released from a sentence from 2011."
