IT was a brutal killing.
And yet it was all over nothing.
Mohammad Parvaiz was the innocent victim caught up in a dispute between two gangs of youths.
And in the end he died because a thug's scooter had been damaged - a scooter he was not even insured to ride on the roads.
It began when Christopher Murphy threatened an Asian youth and his friend with a knife.
Mohammad Amin was the boyfriend of Stacy Temple, who lived at Golcar.
Murphy threatened them with a knife on June 10 and Stacy said later the same day that a gang attacked her flat, trying to force their way in and smashing a window.
The police were called and Stacy - along with Mohammad and his friend - left the area in a taxi.
They returned the next day with two more friends to pick up Mohammad's bike. They attacked Murphy's flat before badly damaging his scooter.
Mr Parvaiz was the driver - but it was clear he had nothing to do with the gang.
Stacy said in evidence that Mr Parvaiz drove down the road when problems erupted at Murphy's flat, adding: "He seemed anxious and scared."
Murphy plotted his revenge.
It came in murderous fashion six weeks later.
On the night of Saturday, July 22, the gang drank and smoked cannabis in Golcar recreation ground.
Murphy urged a 17-year-old girl to phone for the minibus taxi from Lockwood Taxis to take a group from Field Head to the Visage nightclub.
It was a bogus call, to lure Mr Parvaiz into a trap from which there was no escape.
As the minibus pulled into Field Head the gang struck, hurling a concrete block at the windscreen and stones at the vehicle.
Forensic scientists found nine shattered pieces of stone, including two in the taxi.
One struck Mr Parvaiz on his head before he was pulled from the cab and beaten to death - with Murphy stealing Mr Parvaiz's watch as the gang fled.
Beverley Lockwood saw the attack from her home.
She told Leeds Crown Court: "They were just like a pack of wolves, going in for the kill. They didn't care. They didn't stop.
"Not one of them stopped to tell the other not to do it.
"What I saw was so frightening and someone dying. He didn't deserve it, he didn't retaliate. He didn't have chance to."
Another eyewitness, Sonya Lowell, said: "It was all hell let loose."
Mr Parvaiz suffered 23 injuries. Some of the serious head injuries were consistent with being stamped on.
He is also thought to have been hit with an object like a plank of wood, which almost certainly killed him.
A post-mortem showed a fractured skull, a broken jaw, broken ribs, internal injuries and brain damage.
Mr Parvaiz was barely alive when police arrived at 11.20pm, but had died by the time paramedics got to the scene.
He showed no signs of offensive or defensive injuries, indicating that he was not capable of defending himself as he was being struck.
It was alleged that £80 in takings was stolen, along with Mr Parvaiz's watch.
After the attack witnesses described the group of boys as "excited" and "hyped up.".
The group gathered at The Wheel pub in Golcar and witnesses heard Murphy bragging that his shoes were covered in blood.
A girl shone the light from her mobile phone on to his shoes and there was blood all around the edges.
Murphy was also heard saying that he had stolen Mr Parvaiz's watch.
He said: "Look what I've got. He tried really hard to keep his watch, but I managed to get it off."
A witness heard Michael Hand boasting "I've bricked him in the face twice."
The court heard that he also told the group: "If he's not dead then he is in a coma.
"I should know. I've been on a life support machine before. That guy was definitely in a coma."
Hand was put on a life support machine after he was stabbed on New Year's Eve, 2005.
He made a full recovery.
Hand dramatically changed his plea to guilty of murder on the day the evidence about the brick was due to be heard.
