Anil’s family made a statement via the police and said, “We have all been devastated as a family.

“Although justice has been served, this will never bring our Dad back. He was a loving, kind and generous person.

“Whenever our Dad walked into a room he would light it up. Our Dad was well known in the community and well loved by everyone.

“Our Dad will be deeply missed but never forgotten, he will always be in our hearts.”
