Three drug dealers who brutally tortured and murdered a man have been jailed for life.

Raheel Khan, 27, must serve a minimum term of 30 years, while Suleman Khan, 20, and Robert Wainwright, 26, must each spend at least 25 years in prison.

The 20-year-old was attacked because he had been shown footage of Raheel Khan having sex and taunted him about it, according to the CPS.

Mohammed Feazan Ayaz had gone to spend time with people he considered friends, his family said

The attack was carried out on 30 June at an industrial unit on Saffron Drive, where Mr Ayaz went after a phone call from Khan asking him to bring him cannabis.

Michael Quinn, from the CPS, said he was systematically and sadistically beaten on a concrete floor for several hours in a "prolonged and utterly brutal attack".

According to Mr Ayaz's family, he had gone to visit people he "considered friends".

Det Sup Mark Swift, of West Yorkshire Police, said he was looking for other suspects who he believed fled the country shortly after the killing.
