Eighth person charged in Shahzad Akbar home assault probe
LONDON: A charged individual, who hired the car which was driven to the home of former PM Imran Khan's accountability chief Shahzad Akbar's home in Cambridge to assault him, has been charged, joining seven others who are charged in the plot to target Senior officer (retired) Adil Raja and Akbar around Christmas last year.
Dylan Martin, 33, appeared at the Old Bailey charged individual of taking part in a plot to set fire to the home of Akbar as well as firing the rounds. Martin has been charged with possession of a firearm and two allegations of conspiracy to commit fire-setting with intent, or being reckless as to whether life was endangered.
The second person already charged in connection with the assault on Akbar’s home is Doneto Brammer, 21, from Wood Green, north London. He is alleged to have been the individual with the lit rag. The identity of the gunman, the third person involved in the assault on New Year’s Eve, is unknown, and he may be on the run.
The allegations against Martin relate to an event last New Year’s Eve when a car was driven to the Cambridge home of Akbar, previously a member of the executive under jailed former Pakistani premier Imran Khan. Martin, who is alleged to have hired the car which was used in the plot, was arrested on January 5.
The police have not disclosed it yet, but Geo News has learnt through credible sources that at least three rounds were fired inside Akbar’s premises, piercing through the front entrance main window.
