- Judge Mr Justice Morris called the attack a deliberate and senseless act of hot‑headed violence that also left several others seriously injured.

- Jhangur’s father, Mohammed, received a six‑month sentence suspended for two years for perverting the course of justice by concealing a knife, as victims’ families delivered statements in court.
