Khayam Ali Khurshid

Khayam Ali Khurshid is currently serving a life sentence following his 2021 conviction for murder under the law of secondary-party liability, commonly associated with joint enterprise.

Khayam has consistently maintained his innocence and disputes that he shared the intention required to be guilty of murder. His case raises important questions about the drawing of inferences from circumstantial evidence and the application of secondary-party liability where an individual is not alleged to have carried out the fatal act.

This page has been created by his family to document Khayam’s case, explain the concerns surrounding his conviction, and provide a central source of information for those interested in understanding the circumstances in greater detail.

The purpose is not to obscure the fact of his conviction, but to explain why his family continues to question its safety and seeks further legal scrutiny of his case.

Behind the court proceedings is a son, brother and loved member of a family whose life has been profoundly affected by the events that followed.

His family continues to pursue appropriate avenues to have the evidence and legal issues surrounding his conviction properly examined.
