A Moroccan asylum seeker who murdered a pensioner as “revenge” for Palestine and attempted to murder a Christian housemate in his sleep has been sentenced to life in jail.

Ahmed Alid, 45, stabbed 70-year-old Terence Carney multiple times in Hartlepool in October, murdering him. He was also found guilty of the attempted murder of his housemate, Javed Nouri.

Alid was sentenced to life in jail with a minimum term of 45 years less time served at Teesside Crown Court on Friday.

Alid carried out the politically and religiously motivated attack eight days after Hamas’s massacres on October 7.
