Two men, 21 and 23, were arrested on suspicion of murder on Monday and remained in police custody last night.
Khurm, a University of Sheffield graduate, worked as a solicitor for Alison Law Solicitors on London Road, which has closed its city office this week as a mark of respect.
He was married and had two young children.
An online fundraising appeal has been launched in his memory, with the cash to be donated to good causes.

He described him as ’a much loved member of our family and community - one whom everyone has spoken about so highly’.
He added: “He was a determined and bright young man with his whole life ahead of him.
“In his short time on this world, he has left a huge impact on those around him for his kindness and generosity. He has left a non replaceable void in the hearts and lives of all those he loved.”
