The Mistaken Hit on Aamir Siddiqi

In 2010, 17-year-old Aamir Siddiqi was murdered at his family home in Cardiff, Wales, after two hitmen went to the wrong address. The attackers, Jason Richards and Ben Hope, had been hired for a £1,000 contract killing but mistook Siddiqi for their intended target. They stabbed him to death as his parents tried to intervene. Both men were later convicted and sentenced to life in prison for the tragic case of mistaken identity.
