Ahmed Alid told police he was motivated to kill Terence Carney, 70, ‘because Israel was killing children’
A 45-year-old man has been found guilty of murdering a complete stranger, telling police he wanted to kill people because of the conflict in Gaza.
A court heard that Ahmed Alid told detectives that he wanted “Palestine to be free from the Zionists” and that he had killed “because Israel was killing children”. In interviews, he said that if he had had a machine gun or more weapons, he would have killed more people.
