An 18-year-old Afghan man, identified as Suliaman Tajzai, is accused of stabbing a shop worker outside the victim’s home in the Westminster area. Prosecutors say he travelled about 200 miles from his home in Leeds to lie in wait near Farmanullah Sherzad’s home close to Westminster Abbey before the attack.

The reporting centers on the nature of the alleged premeditated attack and the seriousness of the charges. The outlet describes Tajzai as a small-boat migrant and says he faces the possibility of a life sentence if convicted. Other details beyond the core allegations—such as the exact date of the incident, the full procedural status of the case, or arguments from the defence—are not provided in the supplied material, so they cannot be confirmed here.
