Two men, who tried to flee the country part way through a trial over the death of a man, have been caught at Manchester Airport.

Osama Saeed, 32, and Asgar Taj, 35, fled in October 2023, during their trial for causing the death of Asad Rashid, 34, who was hit in a street race between two cars and two motorcyclists on the A34 Handforth bypass on 15 September 2020.

They previously pled guilty to the charge after dialling into the court from abroad but both men failed to return to court for their sentencing.

Cheshire Police arrested the pair at Manchester Airport on Monday after they travelled to the UK from Abu Dhabi.
