"Haseeb was with friends in Rothwell Gardens in the early hours of Saturday, April 20, when a group of five men armed with knives pulled up in a Mercedes and launched a violent attack. Police were called by the London Ambulance Service at around 1.30am to reports of a stabbing. Officers initially found a 50-year-old man with stab wounds who was taken to hospital and later discharged. A short time later, Haseeb was discovered in nearby Flamstead Road suffering from stab injuries. Despite efforts from emergency services, he died at the scene."
"Our son was our world, and losing Haseeb has broken us completely. The pain is with us every moment of every day. Those responsible have shown no remorse for what they have done to our family. We're praying that justice will be served for our beautiful boy."
"Detectives reviewed mobile phone records, number plate data and hundreds of hours of CCTV to identify those responsible. The investigation also uncovered evidence of pre-planning, including the purchase of balaclavas and gloves."
