One friend posted: “I’m proud of the man you were going to become, although your family and the world never got to see you achieve your true inner goals. You were heading towards the right path that counts, and some of us know that.”
He added: “Growing up we made mistakes... ain’t no-one out there that’s perfect. It’s all about learning and growing and you were a living example of that.

Suhaib’s grieving family has also paid tribute to him.
They said: “Suhaib will be missed. He was a kind-hearted young person who was sensitive to the needs of others around him.
“If he ever wronged anyone he never failed to apologise. He touched the lives of everyone around him.
“He will always remain in our memories. We ask you to keep our family in your thoughts and we also want to thank everyone for their support during this time.”
