THE son of murdered Sheffield taxi driver Younis Khan has been arrested for possession of a firearm.
Imran Khan, aged 25, was quizzed by detectives following evidence he gave at the trial of his father's two killers - brothers Ashley and David Cohen.

Now Khan has been arrested on suspicion of possessing an imitation firearm with intent to cause fear.

The Crown Prosecution Service will decide whether he should be charged.

A South Yorkshire Police spokesman said: "Our case is based on Imran's admissions when he gave evidence at court.

"A file has now been prepared and is with the CPS who are considering the matter. We are now awaiting their decision."

David and Ashley Cohen are serving a total of 64 years for murdering 53-year-old Younis Khan at the wheel of his cab in Pitsmoor.

Sheffield Crown Court heard they were intent on revenge after shots were fired at David's house and unable to track down Imran Khan killed his father instead.
