The three siblings said that Harris, 22, from Great Horton, attended Grange Technology College, on Hayliffe Road, and they said he was currently training to be a motor mechanic.

The family added: "We kindly request dua for Harris Abu Bakar, our beloved and lovely brother."

A local resident who passed by the flowers at the scene told the T&A: "It's very, very sad news. I was going to the shop yesterday when I saw the police cordon."

Remains of a police cordon near Dracup Road were still visible on Tuesday.
