A scene remains in place at the address in Hill Top Mount for ongoing forensic work.
A statement from the family of Abdullah Mirzada:
“Abdullah has always worked since he came to the UK in 2002. He never had any ‘cross’ words with anyone. Abdullah was a gentle and kind man. If he ever got into a disagreement with another he would walk away. We just cannot get this right in our minds.”
A statement from the family of Khaja Raisoddin Mohammed:
“Dad was a man of good character. He liked to pray and go to the mosque. He never got into trouble, so we cannot understand why this has happened. We cannot console ourselves; we are unsettled.”
