Up to 20,000 at riot victims’ funerals

UP to 20,000 mourners turned out for the funerals of three men killed as they tried to protect shops and homes from looters.

Haroon Jahan, 21, and brothers Shazad Ali, 30, and Abdul Musavir, 31, died in the early hours of August 10 after they were struck by a car during riots in the Winson Green area of Birmingham.

An open-air prayer service was held for them near the murder scene, where they were hailed as martyrs.
