With the sixth anniversary of the murder approaching, Kavan’s family and friends will spend it in the knowledge that nobody has been charged or prosecuted yet over the killing.

Kavan, a beloved son, brother and friend, was stabbed in his chest after a group of men arranged a drug-deal and violence flared.

Detectives investigating the death have named a man believed to hold vital information and a £5,000 reward for information leading to his arrest was offered initially but Ahmed Farrah remains at large.

Farrah, who has links to Broomhall and is also known as Reggie, attended the Royal Hallamshire Hospital with facial injuries on the same night that Kavan was stabbed. He returned to hospital the following day for further treatment but then went to ground.

Police officers have served harbouring notices to his family, friends and acquaintances warning that anyone found shielding him faces arrest and prosecution.

Various tributes have been paid to Kavan over the years, including one from his family in which they said: “Kavan was just beautiful inside and out, he was polite and caring with the biggest heart and smile that anybody who met him would remember. He made the dullest times brighter just for being him.”

Following Kavan’s death, his heartbroken mum posted online: “As you know, knife crime is a mess in South Yorkshire. Knife crime can happen to anybody and anybody's family. I never ever expected this to ever happen to mine. Youths today need to realise that it isn't acceptable to carry knives. It takes one stab wound to kill.”

Anyone with information should call South Yorkshire Police on 101 and quote incident number 827 of August 14, 2018.
