A MAN stabbed his daughter’s father-in-law to death in broad daylight in a row over wedding rings.
Ahmad Alsino, 43, slashed dad-of-five Mohammed Salem Ibrahim, 55, four times with a Gino D’Acampo kitchen knife on March 13.

He also stabbed his daughter’s husband Aram Ibrahim at the Ibrahims’ Birmingham home.
Alsino lashed out with the blade after an argument about gold jewellery gifted to the newlyweds spiralled out of control.
Aram recovered after hospital treatment – but paramedics were unable to save Mohammed.
Armed cops supported by a helicopter chased Alsino after he fled the scene, tackling him to the ground as he got out of his Hyundai.
Today a jury found him guilty of murder, attempted murder and possession of a knife after a three-week trial at Birmingham Crown Court.
The court heard how Alsino kicked at the front door of the Ibrahims’ home – before it was opened and he stormed in with his knife.
As Alsino pulled up at his home in Chatham Road, Northfield, Birmingham just before 1.40pm, armed officers arrested him.
On searching the car, a plastic bag was found containing two identical kitchen knives.
Forensic examinations showed that blood found on one of the knives belonged to Mr Ibrahim.
Detective Inspector Damian Forrest, from West Midlands Police’s Homicide team, said: “It is truly shocking that a dispute involving family members could result in such a loss of life.
“Ahmad Alsino attended the address and had with him knives, one of which was wielded in anger, resulting in fatal injuries for which he was rightly brought to justice.
“Today’s conviction underlines the catastrophic, irreversible effect on all involved when someone chooses to carry or use a knife.
“Our thoughts remain with Mr Ibrahim’s family and we hope that the culmination of this trial can bring them some peace.”
Alsino’s son Bashar Alsino, 20, was found not guilty of murder and attempted murder.
Ahmad Alsino will be sentenced on October 19.
