Police located the offenders’ locations at the time of the crime by using mobile phone analysis and CCTV camera in what they called “a complex, complicated investigation”.
In some footage, Ahsan was seen running away from the scene of the murder.
Det Supt Chris Doggart, from GMP, said Pakistani authorities detained him in 2017 and arrested him with the intention of extraditing him to the UK.
However Ahsan lodged a number of appeals and was released on bail but he escaped again.
“He was finally located, still in Pakistan, in 2022 for breaching his bail conditions,” Det Supt Doggart said.
He was then returned to GMP custody this January.
