Four more arrested after death of Luton teenager as family pay tribute to 'gentle spirit'
The family of a 19-year-old killed in Luton have paid tribute to his ‘gentle spirit’ as four more are arrested in connection with his death.
The four men, aged in their 20s and 60s, were arrested on suspicion of assisting an offender and have since been released on bail.
A man in his 60s and another in his 20s were arrested on Wednesday (November 4), followed by a second man in his 20s on Thursday (November 5) and a fourth man in his 20s on Sunday (November 8).
The victim has now been named as Ahmadzai Safi, 19, who was found seriously injured on Dallow Road after reports of a collision at round 10.50pm on September 18.
In a moving tribute, Ahmadzai's family described him as “a young man of kindness, honesty and quiet strength”.
In a statement, they said: “He lived with integrity, walked with humility, and met life’s challenges with patience and dignity.
“His gentle spirit, strong principles, and unwavering faith left a lasting impression on family, friends, and all who knew him. He will be remembered with deep affection and enduring respect.”
They added: “Though his time with us feels far too short, the love he gave and the values he embodied endure, softly echoing in every life he touched.”
Two men in their 20s have previously been charged with murder in connection with Ahmadzai's death and remain in custody awaiting further court hearings.
