Afghan migrant pleads guilty to murdering shop worker in London knife attack Suliaman Tajzai, an Afghan asylum seeker, admitted to killing 26-year-old Farmanullah Sherzad in a premeditated knife attack in London. Tajzai had traveled from Leeds specifically to confront Mr. Sherzad, who was involved with his cousin's wife, leading to a violent confrontation that ended in a fatal stabbing. Suliaman Tajzai, an Afghan asylum seeker believed to be 18 years old, has pleaded guilty to the premeditated murder of Farmanullah Sherzad in London. Tajzai, who traveled nearly 200 miles from Leeds, lied in wait for Mr. Sherzad outside his home near Westminster Abbey on March 27, 2024. When Mr. Sherzad returned, Tajzai attacked him with a large kitchen knife, stabbing him fatally in the chest. Despite initial claims of mental illness, the evidence showed a deliberate act motivated by revenge, as Mr. Sherzad had previously been involved with Tajzai's cousin's wife. Mr. Sherzad, 26, was heard screaming for his life before being found dead at the scene
