Two charged with murder after boy, 16, hit by car

Two men have been charged with murder and three counts of attempted murder after a 16-year-old was hit by a car which failed to stop at the scene.

Zulkernain Ahmed, 20, and Amaan Ahmed, 26, both of Locke Drive, Sheffield, were charged over the death of Abdullah Yaser Abdullah Al Yazidi, 16, South Yorkshire Police said.

The teenager was walking along Staniforth Road in the Darnall area of Sheffield on Wednesday, when he was hit by the car.

The force said they believed the grey Audi first hit the rider of an electric bike before continuing and hitting Abdullah, who was walking nearby.

The teenager died from his injuries in hospital.

An 18-year-old man who was riding the electric bike suffered serious injuries which are not thought to be life-threatening and he remains in hospital, the force added.

The two men are due to appear at Sheffield Magistrates' Court on Monday.

A man, 46, and a woman, 45, who were arrested on suspicion of assisting an offender last week, remain on bail.

Abdullah was devoted to his family and would "light up their faces with a big smile", his friends and family said in a statement.

They added he recently arrived in the UK about three months ago from Yemen "for a better future" and was learning English ahead of starting college in September.
