Murderer screams 'I'm innocent' as he's jailed for life over killing of innocent student Aya Hachem

A man has been jailed for life for the murder of innocent student Aya Hachem.

Louis Otway, 42, was yesterday (May 4) convicted for his role in the botched murder plot which saw Aya, 19, killed by a stray bullet in King Street. At Preston Crown Court today, he was jailed for life with a minimum term of 32 years.

As Otway, of Clitheroe Road, Manchester, was sent down, he shouted 'I'm innocent, this is a miscarriage of justice!'', LancsLive reports. Aya, a promising University of Salford student, was caught in the crossfire of a feud between rival tyre firms on Sunday May 17, 2020.
