Tariq Jahan, the father of one of three men killed by a speeding car in the Winson Green section of north Birmingham on Monday night, made a televised appeal for calm yesterday.

After Jahan's prepared statement, there was a further encounter as youths --- angered over the deaths in a deliberate hit-and-run at 70 miles per hour --- called for a forceful response. Jahan called out ot the men: "I'm mourning my son and you want to start up again. Grow up, guys."

There was no violence in Winson Green overnight. Instead, about 200 people held a candle-lit vigil for Haroon Jahan, Shezad Ali and Abdul Musavir.
