A trainee solicitor, Husna Khan, has been banned from working in law firms regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) for assisting her brother, a murderer, in fleeing the country.
Khan, who has been employed in the legal profession since 2020, helped her brother, Khayam Khurshid, evade prosecution for murder by hiding him in a hotel and then leaving the country with him between 12 and 20 August 2020.
- Khurshid was involved in a fatal shooting of a teenage boxer, Cole Kershaw, on 12 August 2020.
- He and his accomplice fled the scene after the incident.
The conviction "posed a risk to public confidence in the solicitors' profession," according to the SRA.
