Humza Yousaf clarifies the role of a Scots-Pakistani MP in the 2004 murder case after Elon Musk’s comment on X
Glasgow: So, Humza Yousaf recently had to set the record straight with Elon Musk. Musk had no clue about the tragic murder of a 15-year-old boy named Kriss Donald back in 2004. Yousaf jumped in to explain how a Scots-Pakistani MP, Mohammad Sarwar, played a crucial role in bringing the killers to justice.
Kriss was a schoolboy who was brutally murdered by a gang led by Imran Shahid. It was a horrific crime that shocked the community. The poor kid was taken on a terrifying journey and met a terrible fate behind Celtic FC’s training ground.
Yousaf pointed out that it was Sarwar who went all the way to Pakistan to ensure the suspects were extradited back to Scotland. This was a big deal because it marked the first conviction for a racially-motivated murder in Scotland.
After Musk shared a post about the incident, he admitted it was the first time he had heard of it. Yousaf made sure to highlight Sarwar’s efforts in his response, emphasizing how important it was to hold the perpetrators accountable.
In the end, the three main suspects were found guilty and sentenced to life in prison. It’s a grim reminder of how far we’ve come in addressing such serious issues, thanks to the efforts of dedicated individuals like Sarwar.
