    Fatal M62 police shooting report delayed

    Friday, 23 February 2018 07:00

    By News X @sunriseradiouk

    The publishing date of the report into a fatal police shooting on the M62 has been delayed.

    Yassar Yaqub, 28, from Huddersfield, was a passenger in a car which was shot at by firearms officers near junction 24 of the M62 in January 2017.

    Driver Moshin Amin's trial on firearms charges, which was due in April, has now been moved until later this year.

    The Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) has said it will not publish its findings until after the trail, as it is believed information in the report could prejudice court proceedings.

    Mr Amin denies charges of possession of a firearm with intent to cause fear of violence, possession of a sound moderator and possession of ammunition.

    Rexhino Arapaj, 27, of Thornlea Road in Crossland Moor, Huddersfield and David Butlin, 38, of Huddersfield Road, Holmfirth, are both charged with conspiracy to possess a firearm and ammunition with intent to endanger life and possession of an offensive weapon.
