A man who repeatedly stabbed a suspected love rival at a petrol station in Nottingham has been found guilty of murder.

Mohammed Duraab Khan, 26, died after being attacked at the Texaco garage in Meadow Lane on 31 January.

Haseeb Majid, of Wilford Crescent in The Meadows, was found guilty of murder by a jury at Nottingham Crown Court on Wednesday.

The 22-year-old, who was also found not guilty of possession of a bladed article, will be sentenced at a later date.

A trial had heard there was “bad blood” between the deceased and the defendant stemming from Mr Khan’s family friendship with Majid’s ex-girlfriend.

Jurors were shown CCTV footage where Majid spotted Mr Khan as a passenger in another car, did a U-turn, parked near the petrol station where the car was refuelling and attacked him.

Mr Khan was stabbed 15 times in 13 seconds with a knife believed to be 12 inches (30cm) long.

A post-mortem examination found a wound in his back could have been fatal on its own, with a pathologist finding he probably died from blood loss.

When Majid was arrested he claimed to have been receiving threatening phone calls and had acted in self-defence.
