LUTON: The family of a teenager who died in Luton have said they are “extremely saddened and heartbroken” as they paid tribute to him, according to a press release by Bedfordshire police.

Humza Hussain, 16, from Luton, was the victim of a fatal attack in Stoneygate Road on Tuesday (8 June). In a statement, his family said: “We are extremely saddened and heartbroken at the passing of Humza. He was a young boy with his whole life ahead of him, and this should never have happened.

“He was a much-loved son, grandson and brother and it is a very sad loss for us as a family. We would ask that our privacy is respected at this difficult time.”

Shortly after the incident, police arrested two teenagers.

One teenage boy was arrested on suspicion of murder, but currently remains in hospital with serious but not life threatening injuries. A second teenage boy, who was arrested on suspicion of violent disorder, has been released on bail.

Detective Inspector Iain Macpherson, from the Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire and Hertfordshire Major Crime Unit, investigating, said: “Our hearts go out to Humza’s family at this incredibly difficult time. We are absolutely determined to bring those responsible for this shocking attack to justice.”
