Teenager jailed for stabbing two men to death after argument with woman outside Halifax nightclub | UK News

A 19-year-old man has been sentenced to 28 years in prison for the murder of two men outside a Halifax nightclub.

Rashane Douglas, from Huddersfield, stabbed Joshua Clark, 21, and Haidar Shah, 19, outside Maggie's, on Commercial Street, on October 1 last year.

Douglas also stabbed Brandon Coupe, 18, during the attack, which occurred after a previous argument over a woman.

He was found not guilty of attempting to murder Mr Coupe, but was found guilty of wounding with intent and sentenced to six years in prison.

Douglas was also sentenced to 18 months for possessing a knife with intent to cause grievous bodily harm.

The sentences will run concurrently.

During his trial, the court heard how Douglas stabbed all three men within seconds of each other.

The prosecution said the 19-year-old was furious that a woman he expected to meet at the nightclub was already with Mr Shah.

Douglas allegedly confronted the victims and a fight broke out after the woman returned home.
