Man Jailed For Life For Murdering Own Brother

Monday, 22 February 2016 14:55

A man has been jailed for the murder of his brother after he strangled him to death following a family row over damaged plant pots.

Juhel Ahmed, 30 was found guilty at the Old Bailey of the murder of 36-year-old Ruhel Ahmed at the family home in Timor House, Duckett Street, Stepney.

He was jailed for life and ordered to serve a minimum of 12 years at the Old Bailey yesterday, Monday, 22 February.

Police were called on Thursday, 3 September at about 19:15hrs to reports of a body at the address.

Officers and the London Ambulance Service attended and found the body of 36-year old Ruhel Ahmed. It is believed his body had lain inside a bedroom at the address for at least a week and Ruhel was killed sometime around 28 August.

A post-mortem examination took place at Poplar Mortuary on 5 September and gave cause of death as compression to the neck.

Officers investigating were told by the victim's family that Ruhel's younger brother Juhel was responsible for the murder.

The pair had been involved in many disputes over the years but just before the murder they had argued over some damaged pot plants belonging to Juhel.

A struggle began during which Juhel strangled his brother.

Juhel then went to hospital for treatment to injuries he suffered to his hand during the incident.

After the discovery of Ruhel's body officers attended and spoke to him and he was arrested.

He was charged on 7 September.
