A man who stabbed his neighbour to death to avoid repaying a debt of thousands of pounds has been jailed for at least 24 years.<\/p>\n

Sajad Hussain bled to death on his doorstep, with his unaware relatives inside the house, after being stabbed by Haroon Rafiq.<\/p>\n

The 24-year-old of Tenby Road, Moseley, Birmingham, was found guilty of murder and jailed for life.<\/p>\n

Rafiq lured Mr Hussain to his death on the pretence he was repaying his debt.<\/p>\n

Three days after the killing on 6 August 2017, he confessed to a Police Community Support Officer (PCSO).<\/p>\n

Father-of-one Mr Hussain, 40, was stabbed in the chest and chased by Rafiq before he was stabbed again on his doorstep.<\/p>\n

Birmingham Crown Court heard how Mr Hussain contacted Rafiq on several occasions to arrange a meeting to repay the debt of several thousand pounds.<\/p>\n

Rafiq met his victim near his home in Tenby Road and said he would walk to a cash machine to withdraw the money but had no intention of paying up.<\/p>\n

Rafiq \u2212 who bought a new knife to kill his victim \u2212 disposed of his blood-stained clothes and the weapon near the River Cole before returning to his home just a few doors away.<\/p>\n

Det Insp Paul Joyce from West Midlands Police said: “This awful attack has resulted in a family losing a loved one in an extremely violent, sustained and unnecessary attack.<\/p>\n

“I can only hope that knowing his killer will spend much of his life behind bars acts as some comfort to Mr Hussain’s family and friends.”<\/p>\n
