THE jury in the trial of two men accused of plotting to help a Bradford murderer get out of the country is considering its verdicts.
The panel began its deliberations late this morning after Judge Peter Benson finished summing up the case.
Faisal Chaudhary, 34, of Grantham Road, Ilford, Essex, and Javaid Awan, 33, of Blackburn Road, Ilford, deny conspiracy to pervert the course of public justice by assisting Danish Irfan (pictured) to flee to Pakistan.
Irfan murdered his wife Ridda Zanab, 21, at their home in Alford Terrace, Lidget Green, on November 3, 2013.
In less than 36 hours, 22-year-old Irfan was on a plane to Pakistan via Dubai after he was given £1,000 in cash and a false passport.
Nouman Qureshi, 33, of Duchywood, Heaton, Bradford, has pleaded guilty to the charge and will be sentenced later.
His brother, Muhammed Qureshi, 39, of Pembroke Avenue, Luton, Bedfordshire, was cleared on the direction of the judge.
