Coventry man to be sentenced over fatal shop blastpublished at 08:24 Greenwich Mean Time 18 January 2019
Three men who blew up a shop in a £300,000 insurance scam are due to be sentenced later after being found guilty of murdering five people.
A mother and her two sons were among those killed in the "bomb-like" blast which destroyed the supermarket in Hinckley Road, Leicester, in February.
Aram Kurd, Hawkar Hassan and Arkan Ali caused the explosion when they set alight "many, many litres of petrol" in the basement of the Polish store. Hassan is aged 33 and from Coventry.
They had denied five counts of murder and conspiracy to commit fraud.
