Three members of a Bradford family were today behind bars after they were convicted of conspiracy to cause grievous bodily harm.

Ashiq Hussain, 36, of Bingley Road, Heaton, and his nephews Mohammed Shabran, 23, and Mohammed Kamran, 20, were found guilty by a jury today at Bradford Crown Court after a long-running trial.

They will be sentenced on Monday.

Shabran and Kamran, both of Ryelands Grove, Heaton, were also convicted of having a firearm with criminal intent.

All three men were cleared by the jury of conspiracy to murder and conspiracy to pervert the cause of justice.

Amar Hussain, 21, of Wensleydale Road, Thornbury, Bradford, was found not guilty by the jury of conspiracy to pervert the course of justice.

Nazim Hussain, 24, of the same address, was cleared of the charge on the direction of the judge, Recorder of Bradford Stephen Gullick, before the jury retired to consider its verdicts.

The judge told Ashiq Hussain, Shabran and Kamran he will sentence them at 10am on Monday. All three were remanded in custody.

The public gallery was packed as the unanimous verdicts were returned less than four hours after the jury began its deliberations.

Judge Gullick exempted the panel of eight men and four women from jury service for 15 years.

During the trial, that began on January 22, prosecutor Andrew Kershaw accused Ashiq Hussain of being “the dominant character that pulls the strings” in a revenge plot against a family he hated.

Mr Kershaw said Hussain was helped by his nephews who worked for him at the Motorwise car wash, on Toller Lane, Heaton.

The jury heard that two masked gunmen struck in Bishop Street, Manningham, Bradford, shortly after 1am on October 24, 2007, wounding Wajid Hussain, Mohammed Shaid and Sajid Hussain.

They were treated in Bradford Royal Infirmary for injuries that were not life-threatening.

Mr Kershaw said pride, honour and vengeance were behind the motive for the shooting.

He told the jury Ashiq had been on good terms with an important member of the other family but they fell out when he would not do his bidding.

There was also a matter of honour after the other family refused to co-operate when Shabran wanted to divorce his wife, who was related to them.
