Two Pakistanis jailed for death threat

LONDON—A British Crown court has sentenced two Pakistanis to eight years prison term for a terrifying assault on a woman. The court also ordered that Nadeem Shah, 26, and Bilal Butt, 24, both described as illegal immigrants, to be deported after serving their sentences. According to Police, the two who had no fixed address terrified the woman in Ilford, East London, after getting into her flat and demanded money while tying her up and holding knife to her throat in an incident in July last summer. The pair pleaded guilty to false imprisonment, possession of firearms with intent and aggravated burglary. Shah was described in the court as a refused asylum seeker and Butt as an overstayer.—Agencies
