Pictured: Murderers who savagely killed Uber driver after he told them to stop eating burger and chips in his taxi

The brother of an Uber driver who was savagely murdered after challenging a drunken lout about eating fast food in his car said he couldn't recognise his sibling after the attack. Connor McPartland, 20, and Martin Treacy, 18, have been jailed for life after killing 'dearly loved' taxi driver Ali Asghar in the street.

Mr Asghar, described as a 'true gentleman', had picked up the friends in Oldham town centre before taking them to Rochdale where they planned to meet some girls and then head to a Halloween party. Treacy started eating a chicken burger and chips in Mr Asghar's new Mercedes.

Mr Asghar pulled over on Queensway after Treacy refused to stop eating, Manchester Crown Court heard. Then Mr Asghar was brutally attacked by the pair, being punched and kicked to the head.
