The brother of an Uber driver who was savagely murdered after challenging a drunken lout about eating fast food in his car said he couldn't recognise his sibling after the attack. Connor McPartland, 20, and Martin Treacy, 18, have been jailed for life after killing 'dearly loved' taxi driver Ali Asghar in the street.
Mr Asghar, described as a 'true gentleman', had picked up the friends in Oldham town centre before taking them to Rochdale where they planned to meet some girls and then head to a Halloween party. Treacy started eating a chicken burger and chips in Mr Asghar's new Mercedes.
Mr Asghar pulled over on Queensway after Treacy refused to stop eating, Manchester Crown Court heard. Then Mr Asghar was brutally attacked by the pair, being punched and kicked to the head.

He was pushed over and hit his head on the wheel of his own car, and died two weeks later. A judge said Mr Ali was 'in no way to blame'.
Earlier in the journey, in the early hours of October 30 last year, there had been a mix-up about where the pair wanted to be taken after McPartland made a spelling error on the Uber app. "Ali Asghar was 39-years-old when he had the misfortune to meet you two, a pair of drunken and entitled louts," Judge Alan Conrad QC told the killers.
"He was a hardworking and decent man, carrying out a valuable public service to provide for his family. By your drunken violence over the period of a few minutes you have ruined your lives, but that is as nothing in comparison with the damage you have done to others by your savage and brutal behaviour."
Mr Asghar's brother Azhar Ali said his sibling's face was 'unrecognisable'
