THIS is the horror moment an enraged dad mowed down his own son with his car after a family feud spilled into violence.
Kamil Mohammed Nadir, 55, ploughed his Mercedes SUV into son Rebath Kamil, 40, at the Local Car Wash in Dalmuir in July 2021 after he accused his father of being with another woman.
The shocking incident was captured on CCTV and shows Nadir – a former Iraqi freedom fighter – driving the huge vehicle on the forecourt of the family’s car wash business before veering straight into his son, who had been busy washing a car.
After being crushed against a brick wall, terrified Rebath can be seen scrambling to his feet before collapsing a metre or so away from the car while water from a smashed giant plastic barrel spills out all over the forecourt.
In the full version of the clip, five other men, including Nadir’s other three other sons, Datsan, Daban and Serbaz, can then be seen rushing to the vehicle before Datsan and Darban begin punching their father.
The CCTV has no sound, however Kilmarnock High Court was told the victim screamed at his father “you tried to kill me over a woman”.
The spat began after Nadir and his wife, the victim’s mother, separated and Nadir accused Rebath of telling his siblings he had seen their dad with another woman.
In the hours following the attack Rebath told police “My father said my brother said I’d seen my dad with another woman.
“I said I did not say that. I said I had seen him with someone, that’s all.”
However the accusation had seemingly enraged Nadir who had gone to the car wash that day to confront his sons, screaming “I will kill you all.”
Reading Rebath’s police statement from three years ago, Prosecutor Donald Davidson said: “I would say that my dad was trying to kill me.
“He drove the car straight at me and he hit me with it. If he was trying to scare me he would have stopped the car but he didn’t.”
However, in the witness stand Rebath, accompanied by an interpreter, denied giving police that statement and saying his English would not be good enough to “say those words”.
He said: “This is not my statement. These are not my words.”
Rebath said he couldn’t remember anything about the incident and said he loved his father, asking the court if he could approach him in the dock and “kiss his hand”.
Nadir’s youngest son Datsan, 27, told police in 2021 he and his brother Daban had began punching their father after witnessing him ramming their oldest brother with his car.
He said: “We started punching my dad. We were holding on to him to stop him from leaving. He was trying to kick us and struggling with us.
“Rebath was crying and shouting at my dad ‘you tried to kill me over a woman’
“My dad was shouting ‘this is what I’m going to do to you.’”
However, giving evidence on the stand Datsan said he couldn’t remember exactly what he told police at the time and said he had “fabricated” his statement.
But prosecutor Mr Davidson refuted these claims saying: “I put it to you directly that you gave this statement to police on the day when your brother was injured you were telling the truth to police that your father uttered the threat to you “that’s what I will do to you”
“Isn’t it the truth that your father shouted in Kurdish ‘I’m going to kill you all?’ before driving the Mercedes at your brother?”
Datsan replied: “It was the truth at the time.”
Defending Nadir, Paul Mullen said the man had been upset over his marriage breakdown and had been trying to harm himself.
He said: “A local Kurdish community leader was involved in negotiating a separation between your parents and that separation had caused a degree of anxiety within the family.
“When your father got out of the vehicle and had his hands in the air did he say he was trying to kill himself?”
Datsan replied: “I don’t recall. He was very shocked and pale faced.”
The Kamil family hail from Iraq and have been living in Scotland for more than 20 years with Nadir, a Kurdish resistance leader, first seeking asylum in 1999 after being forced to flee Iraq under Saddam Hussein’s regime.
His wife and then-young children followed in 2005 and settled in Glasgow.
The family had previously made headlines after going on hunger strike over the home office’s refusal to grant them permanent residency after 18 years in the UK.
After winning the right to stay in Scotland for good, the family opened up the Local Car Wash business.
A jury found Nadir guilty of assaulting his son to the danger of his life following a three-day trial.
Judge Scott Pattison remanded him in custody and told him to expect to be jailed when he is sentenced next month.
He said: “It seems to me you drove your car right at him as he worked and that you did that deliberately and at speed
“It was good fortune that he was not fatally injured.
“The reason for your attack on him is still unclear although there’s some evidence of him making an adverse report to your wife about you
“The course of your offending constitutes very serious violence.”
