Abdirahman Ibrahim has been sentenced to a minimum of 22 years in prison for the murder of Liam Jones, whom he knocked off his bike in Birmingham. Ibrahim, 21, intentionally drove into Jones, 22, as he was riding his e-motorbike in Sheldon on 1 August 2023. Jones tragically died at the scene after crashing into a bollard. Following his conviction in February, police revealed that Ibrahim rammed Jones after witnessing him perform a wheelie, with the intent to “teach him a lesson.”
During the court proceedings, Judge Andrew Smith KC noted that Ibrahim must have been aware that Jones was not wearing a helmet while riding. The judge emphasized that Ibrahim had used his car as a weapon on Moat Lane and had actively pursued Jones and his friend in a deliberate manner. Ibrahim, residing in Bonham Grove, Yardley, was deemed to have acted with determination throughout the incident.
