Tony Green's car mounted the pavement and hit a signpost which toppled on to Shkelzan Taka.

A driver has been jailed for life after being convicted of murdering a man by deliberately steering towards him outside a massage parlour.

The 27-year-old claimed at his trial he panicked and did not realise he was in reverse gear at about 18mph until he hit the signpost. They watched footage of Green, formerly of Suffield Grove, Erdington, jumping on the windscreen of Mr Taka's BMW. Mr Taka, who came to Britain from Albania as a child, died almost instantly at the scene and was later found by a passer-by.The prosecution told the trial Green and Mr Taka had both visited a massage parlour before they had an "interaction" on Coton Lane."Catastrophic injury was virtually inevitable. There is therefore no mitigation from any lesser intention," he added.
