Man shot dead by police on M62 slip road was 'lawfully killed', inquest jury concludes
A man shot dead by police after officers stopped a car on a M62 slip road was lawfully killed, an inquest jury has concluded. Yassar Yaqub, 28, was in the front passenger seat in one of two cars travelling in convoy on the motorway when four unmarked police vehicles surrounded them at junction 24 at Ainley Top near Huddersfield, a six-week-long inquest heard.
V39 said he had feared for his life and 'had no alternative'. In its conclusion on Wednesday, the jury said V39 'honestly believed that a firearm was being aimed at him, his life was in danger and he used reasonable force discharging his firearm'. He said he has got the answers he needs from the inquest but said it is 'definitely not the end'. Mr Yaqub Snr, from Huddersfield, said: "It's been very difficult. Every day has been like nightmare. But it's something as a father I owed to my son.
