Who is Kian Tordoff? Sees fourth Bradford man charged with murder - Street stabbing

Two men and a teenage boy have appeared in court accused of the fatal stabbing of a teenager in Bradford. Kian Tordoff, 19, died after he was found by police with serious stab wounds on John Street on Sunday morning.

Police investigating the tragic death of 19-year-old Kian Tordoff have charged a fourth man with murder.

Amaad Shakiel, 20, of Leaventhorpe Lane, Bradford, has been charged with murder and attempted murder and is due to appear at Bradford Magistrates Court this morning (Monday, October 18).

The charges relate to the death of Kian, from Bierley, who was stabbed in John Street in Bradford city centre in the early hours of October 10.

Emergency services rushed to the scene but the teenager, who has been described as a “golden-hearted” young man by his best friend Ellis Rubery, sadly died a short time later.

The charges also relate to the stabbing of a second man in the same incident.

It means four people have now been charged with the same offences following Kian’s tragic death after two men and a 16-year-old boy were charged with murder and attempted murder on October 14.

They are Arbaz Khan, 21, of Yew Tree Avenue, Bradford, and Aizaz Khan, 26, also of Yew Tree Avenue, Bradford. The 16-year-old boy can not be named for legal reasons.

A spokesperson for West Yorkshire Police said the incident remains under investigation by the Homicide and Major Enquiry Team.
