Teen Shot Dead After High-Speed Car Chase
Tragedy struck on Chesham Road on the evening of Wednesday 12 August 2020 when 18-year-old Cole Kershaw was fatally shot in the chest following a wild pursuit between two cars.
Three Bury Men Found Guilty of Murder
A jury at Manchester Crown Court found Kamran Mohammed, Mohammed Izaarh Khan, and Khayam Ali Khurshid—all from Bury—guilty of Cole’s murder. Raheem Hall, from Heywood, pleaded guilty to assisting an offender. All four face sentencing in April 2021.
High-Speed Chase Ends in Fatal Shooting
The court heard the three men were in a silver BMW chasing a Ford Mondeo carrying Cole and four others. During the chase, three shots were fired. The third bullet struck Cole just before 9.30pm. He was rushed to hospital but tragically died later that night.
Massive Investigation Uncovers the Truth
- More than 350 hours of footage from 75 CCTV cameras reviewed.
- Over 250 witnesses interviewed by Greater Manchester Police’s Major Incident Team.
- Operation codenamed Landseer targeting justice for Cole.
“Today justice has been served for young Cole Kershaw and his family,” said Detective Chief Inspector Andy Butterworth. “Those responsible face a long time behind bars, but nothing can bring Cole back. Our thoughts remain with his loved ones.”
