Men cleared of Birmingham riots triple murder

Eight men have been cleared of murdering three friends who were mowed down by a car during last summer's riots in Birmingham. Haroon Jahan, Shazad Ali and Abdul Musavir were protecting local businesses when they run over in Winson Green. Ryan Goodwin, Shaun Flynn, Juan Ruiz-Gaviria, Joshua Donald, Everton Graham, Adam King, Ian Beckford and Aaron Parkins were cleared of three counts of murder each by a jury which deliberated for just over four hours at Birmingham Crown Court.
