The teenager’s brother, Tausif, 19, said Rizwan had gone out with two friends on Sunday afternoon because he was fasting for Ramadan and was bored. He was with friends, listening to music on a mobile phone, when he was stabbed in the stomach after a group of youths demanded the trio hand over valuables.
“They were asking them for money and phones, anything valuable,” his brother said. “His friends eventually gave their phones and jewellery. I think Rizwan twitched or moved or something. An argument broke out. Someone standing behind the boy in front of Rizwan put his arm round and stabbed him in the stomach.”
