Episode 25: Mohammed Isa

On the evening of 1 August 2025, nineteen-year-old Mohammed Isa Afzal was driven away from a car park in Bury, bleeding and saying his prayers. He died at the side of a road shortly before ten o'clock. What led him to that car park - a dispute, a decision to turn a car around, a baseball bat taken from a Jaguar - and what happened in the few seconds that followed, would be examined at Manchester Crown Court for weeks. Abbas Hussain was convicted of manslaughter, not murder, and sentenced to seven years. Two other defendants were acquitted entirely. This episode tells the story of Isa's death, the trial that followed, and the family left behind.
