“His beautiful green eyes will be missed by many.
“We pray he’s granted the highest rank in Jannah.

“The last few moments of his life must have been really bad.
“Everyone’s absolutely heartbroken. Everyone’s been to the mosque.”
She added: “My dad will stay until they get justice for Adil.”
Zubair Khan, one of Adil’s brothers, said: “He always wanted to grow up and help people. He was very good. He was nice and caring.
