Detective Inspector Emma Winfield of the Homicide and Major Enquiry Team stated, "We welcome the sentence which has been passed down to Ibrahim Mahetar today. He inflicted a sustained and violent attack on his brother; causing him fatal head injuries." The victim's family shared their continued sorrow, expressing, "As a family we continue to grieve the loss of Naseer, who was a loving son, husband, daddy, brother and friend to many."
