She said: “It’s so satisfying and relieving to know that he touched so many people’s lives and that so many people genuinely love him and feel the same heartache as his close family do.”

A huge police cordon was kept in place for a number of days after the stabbing while crime scene investigators examined the area.

Police dogs were also brought in to assist with the examination.
