Brothers on trial over fatal Bingley crash

    Two brothers are on trial in connection with the death of a man in a car crash in Bingley.

    22-year-old law graduate Shumas Fakeer died when the car he was a passenger in hit a tree on Bradford Road last February.

    Brothers Haaris Khan, 24, and Aamir Khan, 25, both of West Park Road, Girlington, who were in a different vehicle during the incident, both deny attempting to pervert the course of justice.

    Haaris Khan also denies causing the death of Shumas Fakeer by dangerous driving, causing death by driving with no driving licence, and causing death by driving without valid insurance.

    A third man, also named Haaris Khan, 25, of Park Grove, Frizinghall, has already pleaded guilty to causing death by dangerous driving. He was driving the Audi RS4, in which Mr Fakeer was a passenger.
