Ramsey received five years jail and Morris was handed six months in prison.

In a statement, Fahim's mother, Khadija, said: "I have lost my son and friend. The day he died is the day I died."

She described him as "extremely bright" with "so much to live for," but was "disappointed with the evidence given by Fahim's alleged friends."
