A 19-year-old man has been jailed for 28 years for murdering two men outside a Halifax nightclub.
Rashane Douglas, from Huddersfield, stabbed Joshua Clark, 21, and Haidar Shah, 19, outside Maggie's on Commercial Street on 1 October last year. Douglas also stabbed Brandon Coupe, 18, in the attack, which happened after an earlier row over a woman. He was found not guilty of the attempted murder of Mr Coupe, but was found guilty of wounding with intent and sentenced to six years. Douglas was also given 18 months for possession of a knife with intent to cause grievous bodily harm.
During his trial, the court heard how Douglas stabbed the three men within seconds of each other. The prosecution said the 19-year-old was angry that a woman he had been expecting to meet at the nightclub was already with Mr Shah. Douglas was alleged to have confronted the victims, and a fight broke out after the woman had gone home. This breaking news story is being updated and more details will be published shortly.
