17-year-old student, Sarah Mohamed, was on Friday, December 20 jailed for urging her boyfriend to prove his love for her by killing his ex-girlfriend during a macabre plot ‘to prove himself.’

Te 17-year-old loitered outside the victim’s home in Openshaw, Manchester for two hours while she waited for her boyfriend, Rhett Carty-Shaw, also 17, to kill the mother of his child.

As she waited outside, she sent more than 50 text messages to encourage him to carry out the brutal attack in May this year.

One of the messages she sent to her boyfriend while he was inside with the mother of his child reads:

“Why you taking so long? Hurry up and do it.”

Mohamed had first plotted the murder after she discovered that her boyfriend was continuing his relationship with his ex-girlfriend, 17-year-old Imam Nasir.

Manchester Crown Court heard during the trial that she was angered and “felt humiliated”. She proceeded to end her relationship with him and said that he had “let her down” and that she “cannot trust him”.

But Carty-Shaw was upset about the relationship coming to an end and arranged to meet with Mohamed at lunchtime the day before the attack in an attempt to talk her round.

Just hours after the meeting, Carty-Shaw made Google searches on asphyxiation and “how long do people get sentenced for murder.”

The pair were both jailed for 16 years on December 20, 2019.
