Two pals who were found guilty of murdering an Uber driver who died as a result of severe head injuries were sentenced today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On Halloween weekend last year, Connor McPartland, 20, and Martin Treacy, 18, boarded Ali Asghar’s Mercedes taxi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mr Asghar, 39, had stopped the cab after Treacy yelled at him after he requested the boy to stop eating a takeout in the rear of the car.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The argument began when McPartland misspelt the name of their chosen destination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to the source, the situation deteriorated and Mr Asghar was savagely beaten, suffering catastrophic head injuries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
McPartland was sentenced to 14 years and six months in prison today, and Treacy was sentenced to 14 years and six months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The duo were out in Oldham town center on October 29 last year when McPartland booked an Uber to take them to Rochdale, according to Manchester Crown Court.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He died two weeks later, two weeks after the attack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
They intended to meet with women before going to a home party.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
McPartland asked to be escorted to Coco’s in Rochdale, but he meant Koko’s, a town centre nightclub.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Coco’s is a restaurant located just outside of town.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The misunderstanding was cleared, but Mr Asghar soon pulled over because Treacy had begun eating a chicken burger and chips in the rear of the taxi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Treacy cursed him and continued to eat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mr. Asghar was caught on camera pulling over.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
