A ruthless double murderer who shot a Bradford taxi driver in the head is to be sentenced at Bradford Crown Court on Monday.

Jamaican-born drug dealer Ricardo Linton was convicted by a jury in August of gunning down Mohammed Basharat while on the run from the police for a similar execution-style murder in America.

The family of Mr Basharat, who was murdered in the offices of Little Horton Private Hire, will finally get justice almost 20 years after the brutal and remorseless killing.

Linton, 45, denied murdering Mr Basharat and attempting to murder fellow taxi driver Jamshad Khan on the evening of Saturday, October 20, 2001.

He was found guilty after a month-long trial and on Monday morning, Mr Justice Lavender will pass sentence.

Linton was remanded back into custody after the guilty verdicts. He is already serving a very long sentence in a US prison for murder.

After the unanimous guilty verdicts were returned by the foreman, the judge exempted the jurors from serving on a jury again for ten years unless they choose to.

During the trial, the court heard that Mr Basharat, 33, was struck by two bullets, in the head and the mouth, and died where he lay.

The gunman, wearing a green balaclava, did not speak before pointing his revolver at Mr Basharat and twice pulling the trigger causing a devastating and inevitably fatal head in-jury.

He then turned his weapon on Jamshad
