A man has admitted perverting the course of justice in connection with a 2006 murder in Sheffield.
Faiser Hussain, 44, pleaded guilty to perverting the course of justice in connection with the murder of Ibrahim Ilyas, a 20-year-old shot dead in Sheffield's Pitsmoor area on 3 June 2006. Ilyas was killed as he sat in a car on Abbeyfield Road, and two other men were injured in the incident.
Hussain entered his plea midway through his trial at Hull Crown Court, where he had also been accused of one count of murder and two counts of attempted murder. After accepting his plea, the judge directed that he be found not guilty of the remaining charges. Hussain, of no fixed abode, was arrested at Manchester Airport in March and remanded into custody.
He will be sentenced on Thursday. Mohammed Ali was convicted of Ilyas' murder in 2007 and received a life sentence with a minimum term of 30 years.
