Police Praise Family’s Courage, Vow Hunt Continues
“Whilst these convictions and lengthy sentences will not bring back Abdullah, I hope they will provide the Balouchi family with some sense of closure as they continue to grieve for their loved one,” said Senior Investigating Officer Detective Superintendent Robert Clark.
“I want to thank the family for their strength, courage and dignity during what has been a painful and difficult time, one no family should endure.”
“Abdullah’s murder was a senseless act that shook Hull’s community, especially around Spring Bank. We are working hard to make the area safe again.”
The investigation is not over. Police confirmed there are still suspects at large, promising to keep chasing until all responsible parties face justice.
