Patrols stepped up after murder


Neighbours and passers-by tended to Mr Khan following the shooting. Police in Sheffield have said they will increase patrols following the murder of a taxi driver shot dead in his cab.

Younis Khan, 53, was shot as he drove along Scott Road, Pitsmoor, in the early hours of Wednesday. About 200 taxi drivers gathered at the Pakistan Muslim Centre in Darnall on Wednesday night to meet with police and council chiefs.

Ch Supt Paul Broadbent told them there would be increased patrols and a police help desk set up for cab drivers.

No clear motive

Detectives investigating the fatal shooting of Mr Khan have said there was no clear motive for the attack. Mr Khan, described as a "hard-working family man", was shot with a small-calibre firearm, possibly a handgun.
