Two friends have been convicted of murder after an Uber driver was brutally killed. Ali Asghar, 38, was set upon by 20-year-old Connor McPartland and 18-year-old Martin Treacy after the pair got into his Mercedes taxi on Halloween weekend last year.

Mr Asghar had pulled over the taxi after Treacy swore at him when he asked the teenager to stop eating a takeaway in the back of the car.
