Chilling CCTV footage has captured the moments before a would-be murderer rammed a cyclist off the road before launching a 'brutal' attack.

The clip shows 'cowardly' Ijaz Ahmed, of Meir, following his ex-partner's husband in a blue Toyota Yaris in the early hours of a cold December morning.. The victim begins cycling to work and unbeknownst to him is followed by Ahmed. Soon after, just off camera, Ahmed runs him down and before attacking him with a 'bladed weapon'.

Officers discovered the victim with deep cuts to his head, as well as blunt force trauma to his body and a skull injury.

Fifty-one-year-old Ahmed had been lying in wait for his victim after making the journey from Stoke-on-Trent to Rochdale. Minshull Street Crown Court heard the defendant was motivated by 'jealousy, hurt pride and revenge' when he carried out the assault in Bowness Road, Middleton, on December 12, 2021.

He had hoped to evade detection by borrowing the Toyota from a Stoke-on-Trent garage on the understanding that he knew someone who was interested in buying the car.

But detectives were able to trace the vehicle back to the dealership after it was advertised it for sale. A key witness at the garage told officers that the car was missing on the morning of the collision and was returned a few hours later by Ahmed with damage to the number plate and scratches to the paintwork.

When confronted, Ahmed offered to pay for repairs and broke the number plate into pieces. He insisted the number plate be reported as stolen to the police, but this was not done and the number plate was simply replaced by the garage.

By this point in the investigation, Ahmed had fled the country but when he returned five months later in the mistaken belief police were no longer looking for him, he was arrested.

Despite denying all knowledge of the crime, Ahmed, of Harrowby Road, was convicted of attempted murder and was sentenced to a minimum of 30 years in jail with five years on extended licence. He was also handed an indefinite restraining order against the victim.

Judge Bernadette Baxter said: "The CCTV is chilling and showed Ahmed prowling the area and lying in wait. The victim was utterly defenceless and suffered profound injuries. He is no longer the man he was and never will be. From first to last (Ahmed) has shown not one jot of remorse."

“O beware, my lord, of jealousy;
It is the green-eyed monster which doth mock the meat it feeds on.”

And of course, I immediately state that I did not write that. I am no
Mad Mason, plagiarising the work of others and not pretending that it is
mine.

But since everyone of moderate intelligence and learning immediately
recognises the quotation, I shan't state its source in full.

30 years for knocking a cyclist off their bike?
What a brilliant sentence and no mistake!

Ahmed was convicted of attempted murder, not ‘knocking a cyclist off his
bike’.

Contrast with the 90% of these cases where the driver gets let off with a slap on the wrist after using the "low flying Sun" wriggle.

I assume you are intentionally playing the dimwit, because a traffic
accident and attempted murder are poles apart in the legal world.

You did read the reports you posted, didn’t you?

Of what practical use will the restraining order be for the next thirty
or more years?

Are you sure he can read without moving his lips?

QUOTE: Two drivers whose cars hit a cyclist in Shopshire two years ago have been cleared of causing his death by careless driving after they claimed they had been unable to see him because of low sun and glare from a wet road..

On the morning of October 17, 2012, cyclist John Edmund Searle was hit by the "wing" mirror of a car being driven by Pamela Willocks. The 59-year-old teaching assistant fell into the road, and moments later was run over by a van driven by Russel Davies, inflicting fatal injuries. ENDS

Slap on the wrist.

"Slap on the wrist" for an offence they didn't commit?

How does that work on Planet-Chav-Cyclist?

For "wing" mirror read DOOR mirror - some people are still stuck in the 1970's like the gammons they are.

For "swldx" read "bleedin' idiot".

Only an idiot thinks people who are not guilty should be punished for
the offence of which they are not guilty.

He could add a few hours to his THIRTY YEARS sentence to compensate for the damage. :-)
