Mohammed Yassar Yaqub, 28, died when officers opened fire on the car he was travelling in near the M62 on Monday evening. At the funeral in Huddersfield this morning, his mother wept as his coffin was carried out of a mosque. Safia Bano was visibly distraught and had to be physically supported by mourners as the body left Masjid Bilal. Hundreds of people attended the funeral service in his home town on Friday, more than were able to fit inside the building. Mr Yaqub’s coffin was carried into and out of the service through the men’s entrance, and mourners embraced as they paid respect to the father-of-two. Ten men carried the coffin, which was dressed in a gold and black decorative cloth, and flowers were carried into the mosque by women before the body was taken away to Hey Lane Cemetery for burial. Wearing traditional dress, many friends and family embraced and welcomed each other wearing thick winter coats against the cold January weather. At the same time, 15 miles away, an inquest heard Mr Yaqub, who worked as an office clerk and was single, was shot through the windscreen of an Audi car after a “hard stop”. Bradford Coroner’s Court was told that a firearm was found in the front passenger footwell of the vehicle. Coroner’s officer Chris Dalby told the hearing that Mr Yaqub was shot by an officer “in the execution of his duty”. The Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) is investigating the death and said none of the officers involved were using body-worn video cameras during the stop of the white Audi in which Mr Yaqub was travelling. The inquest heard the “hard stop” of the Audi and a Volkswagen Sirocco happened at 6.10pm on Monday. Mr Dalby said four unmarked police cars were involved in the incident with one - a Mercedes - cutting across the front of the Audi. He said: “During the incident an officer discharged a firearm in the execution of his duty with the shots going through the windscreen of the Audi.”
Bent drug dealer, people traffiker, and put his dad in charge of his 100 houses that he owns, and the residents of his houses recieve housing benefits from the state which goes into Yaqubs pocket. This bloke pays no taxes and therefore benefits from proceeds of crime, so take the money , sell the houses and cars and make the family work for a living. Oh but they're Muslims so will probably do fook all
Pity i couldnt get to the mosque in time!!!! I have some experimental prayer mats that explode................................. Manufacturers expect the Prophets to go through the roof
Your attitude is shocking, chaps. Unlike you guys, I actually LISTENED to his father talking on the telly, and it is quite clear that his son being crucified by the police prevented the second coming. He was immaculate. He was without sin. He would show us the way to live our lives. Aye, right!
They were out in their hundreds protesting causing chaos for motorists over the lawful shooting of a known, armed drug dealer, yet when there has been hundreds of young Asian girls being groomed drugged and raped by monsters they don't say a word... oh hang on a minute, I've got something wrong there haven't i
Only you mate, as will be proved when others see it hate to be a bit of a spelling policeman, but, its cryptic
