SIX teenagers were going on trial today accused of murdering a Huddersfield taxi driver.

Michael Hand, 19, and Christopher Murphy, 18, deny killing father-of- three Mohammad Parvaiz, 41, as do four youths who cannot be named for legal reasons.

Mr Parvaiz was beaten to death in Field Head, Golcar, on July 22 as he responded to a fare.

He lived in Birkby and had been a taxi driver for seven years.

Mr Parvaiz was a married man with two young sons and a daughter.

The accused are on trial at Leeds Crown Court.

The proceedings are expected to last four to five weeks.
