A man who used his car as a weapon to chase and kill an e-bike rider has been jailed for life with a minimum term of 22 years.

Abdirahman Ibrahim was found guilty of the murder of Liam Jones in Birmingham by a jury in February.

The court heard the victim and a friend were seen “showboating” and doing wheelies shortly before the 22-year-old was rammed off his bike into a concrete post.

Passing sentence at Birmingham Crown Court, Judge Andrew Smith KC said it must have been clear to Ibrahim that Mr Jones was not wearing a helmet prior to his death in Yardley shortly before midnight on 1 August 2023.

The judge told 21-year-old Ibrahim: “After careful reflection I have concluded that you did drive the car into and on Moat Lane such that you had the car available as a weapon.

“You pursued (Mr Jones and his friend) in a determined and deliberate way.”

Police previously said they believed Ibrahim was “angered by Liam’s showboating and wanted to teach him a lesson”.
