Bradford man jailed for trying to kill father over inheritance dispute

“Hussain drove hundreds of kilometers to carry out the attack and had previously threatened the victim for several years.

“I hope today’s long sentence gives the victim some comfort knowing he will be behind bars for a very long time.”

The prosecution had argued that Hussain was angry with his father for remarrying following a divorce and that he had started demanding his inheritance before his father died.

Abdul Rouf, 52, said he believed his son intended to kill him because he would not do what his son had wanted regarding the inheritance.

He suggested his son may have had mental health issues and said the threats had intensified over the past four or five years.

When armed police later stopped Hussain’s car as he was returning to South Wales after the attack, they found a knife with blood on it that matched Mr Rouf’s DNA.

In a victim impact statement last July, Mr Rouf said he struggled with the fact that his own son had attacked him.

He said he had nightmares about the incident and flashbacks when he walked into the kitchen.
