A MURDERER who was dragged back from Pakistan to face justice will serve at least 28 years behind bars.
Abdul Ahsan was 18 when he shot Andre Marshall seven times before leaving him to die in a car park in Urmston in 2015.
Ahsan, now 28, was arrested on suspicion of murder in the aftermath, but fled to Pakistan.
He only arrived back in the UK in January following lengthy extradition proceedings.
After he was unanimously convicted of murder by a jury at Manchester Crown Court, Ahsan was yesterday given a life sentence and ordered to serve at least 28 years in jail. He will be in his 50s before he can be considered for release.
