The mother of murder victim Choudhry Zishan has said his death has ruined her family in every way possible.

On the day bothers Jonathan and Samuel McKinley are due to be sentenced for the 35-year olds murder, Mr Zishan's mother has spoken of her loss.

Jonathan, 23, and Samuel, 25, were convicted on Wednesday by a jury who found them unanimously guilty of murdering Mr Zishan, following a two and half week trial.

Winchester Crown Court heard how the pair subjected Mr Zishan to a prolonged a savage attack lasting several minutes, initially in a bid to rob him having met by chance in the street as Mr Zishan went to work.

The brothers now face life sentences for their crime but will today find out how long they will serve before they are considered for parole.

As part of that process the family of Mr Zishan, who they called Zishan, have written to the court to explain the impact his death has had on them.

In her statement his mother says a life sentence has been given to them all. She also criticises police for not taking them off they streets when they were called to deal with an unrelated incident involving the pair 15 minutes before they attacked her son.

Mrs Fiaz said: "The murder of my son Zishan, who was kicked and stamped to death, a vicious, unprovoked attack has ruined by family and me in every way.

"The murder happened the very same night when police let these two individuals go. These two should have been taken to a police station."

Hampshire police have previously said that a review of the conduct of officers who were called to defuse a situation between the brothers and a group of friends who they were intimidating, found they had acted appropriately as no crime had been committed at that point.

Mrs Fiaz goes on to describe how she still expects her son to call and ask her to cook his favourite food or see his car pull up outside her front door.

She adds: " I feel guilty even to laugh. my confidence has completely gone I am hoping that one day I will come out of my dream and see my son's happy face."

The statement says that her husband has had leave the UK and go to Pakistan as he struggled to cope with his sons death, while her health has also suffered.

His sisters and brother describe their anguish at knowing he died in pain and that Mr Zishan's son and the daughter that he never saw, as his wife Sabina was expecting when he was killed, will grow up not knowing their father.
