Today saw thousands of people gather on Spinney Hill Park for funeral prayers for the family of Dr Taufiq Sattar who were killed last month in a fire at their home in Woodgate in Leicester.

 

The coffins containing the bodies of Shehnila Taufiq and children Zainab, 19, Bilal, 17, and 15-year-old Jamal were transferred from cars to a white marquee on the park infront of the thousands that came to pray for the family.
