A 20-year-old man from Huddersfield fatally stabbed a Syrian refugee in the neck, just weeks after he moved to the town.
CCTV footage released on Friday (10 October) shows Alfie Franco, 20, with his then-girlfriend in the town centre when Ahmad Mamdouh Al Ibrahim, 16, walked past with a friend.
Prosecutors said Franco took “some petty exception” to Ahmad “innocuously” walking past his girlfriend, and the pair appear to engage in a short verbal altercation.
As Ahmad walked over, Franco pulled a flick-knife from his pocket and stabbed the teenager in the neck.
On Thursday (9 October), Franco was jailed for life with a minimum of 23 years.
