He is due to appear in court today
A man has been charged with the murder of university graduate Badri Issa after he was stabbed to death in Moss Side last week.
Badri Issa, 22, died in hospital after he was fatally stabbed on Moss Lane East, in Manchester, last Wednesday (October 25th).
Raami Mohamed, 21, of Fairy Lane, Manchester has been charged, police have said.
Mr Mohamed has been remanded in custody and is due to appear at Manchester Magistrates Court later today (Tuesday, October 31st).
A 21-year-old man is in custody after being held on suspicion of murder while a third man, also aged 21, has been bailed after he was arrested on suspicion of perverting the course of justice.
Greater Manchester Police say the investigation is ‘still very much ongoing’ and are encouraging witnesses to come forward with information to help ‘provide answers for Badri’s family’.
Detective Chief Inspector Andy Naismith of GMP’s Major Incident Team, said: “Even though a man has been charged with the sad murder of Badri Issa, this investigation is still very much ongoing and I continue to encourage further witnesses or anyone who has any information to please come forward.
“We arrested a second man on suspicion of murder yesterday. He remains in police custody and the team of detectives are pursuing lines of enquiry.
“A third man, aged 21, who was arrested on suspicion of perverting the course of justice was bailed last night for further enquiries.
“We understand that coming forward with information is nerve wracking, but we urge you to do the right thing so we can provide answers for Badri’s family.”
In a statement Mr Issa’s family described their loved one as ‘kind and friendly’. His family said: “Badri was well loved at home and in the community. He was respectful and lovely and always put others first.
“Badri had just graduated university and was looking forward to starting a career in mechanical engineering. He was kind and friendly and always smiling. He will be sorely missed by everyone who knew him.”
