Georgina Davies, from the Crown Prosecution Service, said the afternoon shooting on 22 May resulted from a "drug feud".

According to West Midlands Police, the brothers lured 22-year-old Mr Zaheer to his death.

CCTV shows them gesturing to him to follow them in their black Audi to a nearby street.

There, the force said, Harras Khan unlocked a parked van and pulled out a shotgun, before the pair shouted to their victim: "Do you want it?"

Harras Khan handed the weapon to his brother before shouting "blast him, do it," police said.
