Hertfordshire Police have charged a second man for the murder of Amjad Hussain after his 24-year-old son was previously sentenced to life in prison.
Husnein Amjad of Fuller Road, Watford, was given a minimum sentence of 17 years in December after he was found guilty of beating his father to death in their family home on October 28, 2021.
After more intelligence came to light this year, officers yesterday (June 20) arrested and charged Zaheer Abbas, of Weldale Street in Reading, with murder.

Police believe the 44-year-old was also known to the victim.
Abbas appeared at Hatfield Magistrates’ Court this morning and has been remanded in custody before his next appearance at St Albans Crown Court on June 25.
Update: Abbas was remanded into custody and will enter a plea at St Albans Crown Court on September 11.
In April 2022, Husnein Amjad, 24, pleaded guilty to manslaughter and denied murder, but the jury found him guilty by unanimous verdict following a 13-day trial at St Albans Crown Court.
