Two men who fled the country whilst on trial for killing a man after racing on the A34 have been arrested after landing at Manchester Airport.

Cheshire Police have released footage showing Osama Saeed, and Asgar Taj being detained at the arrival gate after stepping off a flight from Abu Dhabi earlier this morning (Monday, July 8).

The pair left the UK in October last year whilst their trial at Manchester's Minshull Street Crown Court, where they were accused of causing the death of 34-year-old Asad Rashid by dangerous driving, was part-way through.

However, they failed to attend their sentencing hearing last December so both Saeed, then 32 and of St Paul's Road, Manningham, Bradford, and Taj, then 35 and f Heather Grove, Bradford, were sentenced to 12 years in prison.
