A friend of one of three teenagers killed in a two-vehicle head-on crash has spoken about the “heartless” social media comments he says have been shared about them.
Mohammed Jibrael Mukhtar, 18, died with two friends when the red Seat Leon car they were in crashed with a taxi in Bolton. Taxi driver Masrob Ali, 54, also died.
Bahar Telila, 24, Mukhtar’s childhood friend, said he had since seen comments online expressing hatred towards the three teens who died.
“I knew Jibrael as a good kid, someone of a good character,” Telila said. “It was a mistake. The negative comments don’t describe the person I knew – rather than doing that, we should try educate parents and kids about driving safely.”
