A Sheffield man has been sentenced to seven years in prison after stabbing a teenager with a knife taken from a restaurant kitchen.
Peshawa Ghaffour, 30, of Birkendale Road, (pictured) has been charged with manslaughter, stabbing 17 year old Mohammed Iqbal in a street fight on Crookes Road.
The altercation broke out after Ghaffour had a heated argument with an ex-partner, the court heard.
The ex-partner’s son and a friend, Mohammed Iqbal, bumped into Ghaffour a short while later.
Senior Investigating Officer, Detective Chief Inspector Joanne Kemp, said: “Throughout this investigation, we have been committed to finding justice for Mohammed and his family. Mohammed’s family have been present throughout the trial and have shown the utmost dignity as they listened to the tragic circumstances of how Mohammed lost his life played out in court.”
The incident occurred in May 2023 and Ghaffour was sentenced on 23 November.
DCI Kemp said: “I also want to take this opportunity to recognise the witnesses in this case who have provided crucial evidence that has been fundamental in ensuring justice was served. Without people coming forward and sharing information with us, we would be unable bring the offenders involved in some of our most serious cases to justice.”
