Two men have been found guilty of killing a delivery driver who died during a trap to steal three pizzas.

Mark Lintott, 29, was found guilty of manslaughter and robbery following a seven day trial at Peterborough Crown Court.

Twenty-five-year-old Joel Lawson had pleaded guilty to manslaughter and robbery at a previous hearing.

Forty-five-year-old Ali Qasemi died when he hit his head falling to the floor after being punched in the face.

As he lay on the floor, Lawson and Lintott stole the three pizzas they had ordered, but had planned on not paying for.

Mr Qasemi's widow screamed at Lawson as he gave evidence: "Burn in hell, you're evil."

The court heard the pair were with friends at Lintott's home on the evening of May 7 when they decided to order pizza.

They called Pizza Hut in Peterborough and ordered three pizzas, giving a false address.

When Qasemi couldn't find the address he'd been given, he called Pizza Hut to confirm where he should be.

At the same time Lintott and Lawson also called to ask where their pizzas were and were told to make themselves known to the driver.

The pair approached Mr Qasemi and punched him once in the face. As he fell to the ground they picked up the pizzaa, worth around £52, and ran back to Lintott's flat.

A passing motorist found Mr Qasemi unconscious and unresponsive on the road in front of his vehicle. The ambulance service was called and he was taken to Addenbrooke's Hospital in Cambridge but died three days later.

Senior investigating officer, Detective Inspector Lucy Thomson said: "This was a sickening, senseless crime, which has caused misery to Mr Qasemi's wife and her young sons.

"They have lost a loving, devoted husband and father; devastating their close knit family, all for the price of three pizzas.

"I and my enquiry team send our deepest sympathy to Mrs Qasemi and the boys at this incredibly difficult time."
