A MURDER accused felt sick when he linked a naked man he saw being “terrorised” to a body found in a Bradford street, a jury heard today.

In an interview played at Bradford Crown Court, Stephen Queeney said he consulted his friend about what he had seen.

“I didn’t know what to do when I realised they could have killed the lad that had been dumped on the estate,” he told the police.

Queeney, 34, of Junction Row, Bolton Road, Bradford, denies murdering Mohammed Feazan Ayaz at the Denholme Business Centre in Halifax Road, Denholme, between June 30 and July 1 last year.

On trial with him pleading not guilty to Mr Ayaz’s murder are: Suleman Khan, 20, of Sandford Road, Bradford Moor, Bradford; Robert Wainwright, 26, of Mannville Terrace, Bradford City Centre; Junaid Hussain, 28, of Silverhill Road, Bradford Moor; and Raheel Khan, 27, of no fixed address.

Shaoib Shafiq, 20, of Gladstone Street, Bradford Moor, and a 17-year-old Bradford youth, who cannot be named because of his age, deny assisting an offender.

The jury has heard that Mr Ayaz, 20, of Duckworth Grove, Manningham, Bradford, was stripped naked and “systematically and sadistically beaten to death” in Unit 2 at the business centre.

Graphic film clips from Raheel Khan’s phone captured Mr Ayaz, known as Fizzy, being tormented and urinated on.

His body was found in Saffron Drive, Allerton, just before 4am on July 1.

The court has heard that Queeney, who runs Bronte Auto Centre in Denholme, contacted the police two days later.

He said he saw four Asian males, including Raheel Khan, known as Rally, and a white male “terrorising” a naked man lying on the ground in Unit 2.

He was bleeding from the nose and had a cut to his ear.

A man poured a bottle of alcohol over his head while the injured male kept on saying he was sorry.

Queeney said there were scruffy bed sheets over the windows at the unit, it smelt of cannabis and there was rubbish on the floor, kicked to one side.

After he had gone home that night, Queeney said he received two calls in the early hours but he did not answer them.

Later, Rally asked him to wipe the CCTV camera footage at the business centre.

He said he had had a fight there, Queeney told the police.

After he learned that a body had been found, he “put two and two together.”

His mate told him: “You can’t let them get away with what they have done. You need to go to the detective who’s in charge of the case.”

Queeney told the police: “I felt sick, physically and mentally drained.”

He added: “They can’t get away with that. I’d rather sit my time in a police cell until they are in a police cell.”

Asked why he had helped Rally, Queeney replied that he had always been all right with him, never rude or out of line.

He cleaned up because “he told me there was piss all over the floor.”

The trial continues.
