Two men charged with murder after teenager hit by car in Sheffield
Two men have been charged with murder after the death of a teenager in Sheffield. Abdullah Yaser Abdullah al Yazidi, 16, died after being hit by a car. He had only recently come to the UK from Yemen, looking "for a better future", his loved ones previously said. Zulkernain Ahmed, 20, and Amaan Ahmed, 26, both of Locke Drive, Sheffield, have been charged with murder and three counts of attempted murder. They are due to appear before Sheffield Magistrates' Court on Monday. 'Innocently walking down the street' South Yorkshire Police said Abdullah was "innocently walking" down a street in the Darnall area of the city, just after 4.50pm on 4 June, when a car collided with him. The force said they understood a grey Audi had driven towards three electric bikes, hitting one. As the car continued following the collision with the electric bike, it then hit Abdullah, police said. According to the force, the driver failed to stop at the scene. Abdullah was taken to hospital where he later died. The rider of the electric bike, 18, suffered serious but non-life-threatening injuries and remains in hospital. Two people, a man, 46, and a woman, 45, who were previously arrested on suspicion of assisting an offender, remain on bail. A 'kind boy' Abdullah's relative, Saleh Alsirkal, runs a corner shop that the teenager popped into just before he was hit by the car on Wednesday. "His dad brought him over to change his life, to get a better future for his son, but this has happened and destroyed everything," said Mr Alsirkal. Read more from Sky News: He said Abdullah was a "kind boy" who just wanted to look after his family, including his three sisters and was really enjoying learning English. "Every time he had a new word to learn, he was so excited about it," he said. "It meant a lot to him and he learned quick. Sometimes he would stay in the shop just so he could talk to people. He tried to be friends with everyone." "He wanted to be the main guy for the family. He was 16 years old, but he was a clever man," said Mr Alsirkal.
