Jalal Uddin

The son of Jalal Uddin has paid tribute to him: “Jalal Uddin was a loved and integral part of the community. He was a soft spoken, gentle soul who wouldn't hesitate to help those in need. He was a simple man, but respected by all for his kind and caring nature.

“He was a selfless man of principle, who always strived to do the right thing. For the community, it is a great loss to lose such a soul. With his extensive knowledge of Islam and his ability to share this knowledge, he captured the hearts of the old and the young, truly making a difference in people's lives.

“As the main provider for his family in Bangladesh, he dedicated his life to ensure his family's wellbeing, and we thank everybody for their support and kind condolences at this difficult time. He was a loving father, husband, and grandfather who will be dearly missed by not only his wife, children and his young grandchildren, but by all who knew him. We hope his soul will be at rest in the knowledge that those who loved him, really cherished him.

“The events that transpired on that night were completely unexpected, and incredibly inhumane. Nobody should have to go through what Jalal did. We are mortified that such a horrific attack took place with such an innocent and polite soul.

“We hope that justice will persevere and the perpetrators responsible will be held to account.”
