Following his death last year the family of Abdifatah Ali Wadad Abdullahi released an emotional tribute to him via police.

“Abdifatah Ali Wadad Abdullahi was a beloved son, brother, husband, cousin, uncle and soon-to-be father, who was taken from this world in the prime of his life.

“We feel his loss profoundly and are mourning him in family homes across Somaliland, Saudi Arabia, Sweden, Norway, Canada, Australia, the United States and here in the United Kingdom.

“We have been humbled to learn just how many lives Abdifatah touched with his simple kindness, ready smile and quick wit.

“Simple words do not suffice to describe him and what he meant to us collectively and individually, so we will say that he will be missed forever and remembered always.

“We would like to say thank you to Thames Valley Police for all of their hard work and commitment to seeking out justice for Abdifatah and we as a family will not rest until this is achieved.

“We will tell his unborn child all about him and let him or her know how much he loved them even though they were not destined to meet.”
