Family tributes for Hussein Nur Teklise killed while cycling on Belgrave Middleway in Birmingham

The family of a husband-to-be who was killed when he was struck by a car in Birmingham have paid tribute to their loved one saying ‘his legacy will live on’.

Hussien Nur Teklise, the father of a two year-old son with his fiancée, fatally struck by a car while riding a bike along Belgrave Middleway just after 2pm on May 16. Police believe Hussien, who was 45, was hit by a white Audi, which did not stop at the scene. Officers have since recovered this car and identified the driver, who they say “will be spoken to in due course”.

In a statement, Hussain’s fiancée said: “He loved cycling and he loved doing his morning routine with his two-year-old son, which included feeding him breakfast, playing with him, taking videos, and spending quality time. Hussien was a very cautious person and kind to everyone in the community. His legacy will live on in the hearts and minds of everyone he interacted with, as well as those he reached but never met.”

Det Sgt Julie Lyman, from West Midlands Police Serious Collision Investigation Unit, said: “We have spoken with a number of witnesses already, but are still keen to hear from anyone who we have not spoken to, particularly if they have any CCTV or dashcam footage.” E-mail [email protected], quoting log 2461 of 16 May, or get in touch via Live Chat at the West Midlands Police website
