An inquest jury has concluded Yassar Yaqub was 'lawfully killed' by police on Ainley Top
V39 said he had feared for his life and “had no alternative”.
V39 was the passenger in one of the police vehicles following Mr Yaqub and his associates on January 2 2017 from Akbar’s Cafe in Bradford.After driving on the M62 towards Huddersfield, the police made the stop at the junction known as Ainley Top. "The loss of life in any circumstances is, of course, tragic and our sympathies remain with the Yaqub family for the loss of their loved one."But I also want to acknowledge how difficult the past five to six years have also been for the officers and staff who were directly involved.
"It is thankfully rare that any police action results in the death of an individual. When it does, it is right that we are open to full scrutiny, just as in this case. "Firearms officers perform a highly skilled and incredibly demanding role. They are brave and courageous people, who keep us all safe.
