Family of Birmingham murder victim Mohammed Yasin appeal for justice

The devoted family of Birmingham murder victim Mohammed Yasin have made an emotional appeal for help to bring his killers to justice.

Mohammed was aged 50 when he died from a gunshot wound on Wednesday, September 28, 2005, after being found near the front door at his home in Whitehall Road, Bordesley Green.

West Midlands Police have told how Mohammed’s family are still seeking answers and justice for his death - and are certain that “someone out there knows the truth about what happened that night”.

The family have released a statement saying: “Mohammed Yasin was a kind and loving person to family and friends. He is dearly missed by us all. There’s not a day that goes by that we don’t think about him. We as a family need justice and closure.”

Police say their investigation remains open with detectives ready to speak with anyone with information - no matter how small. Detective Superintendent Shaun Edwards from WMP Homicide Unit, said: "Our thoughts remain with Mohammed’s family who deserve justice and closure after enduring this pain 18 years on.

"In these circumstances no case is ever closed and we will always look at new information that comes to light, no matter how small it is how much time has passed.

"Someone out there knows something. It might be small to you, but it could make the difference to our investigation and Mohammed’s family. I would encourage anyone who knows what happened that day to examine their conscience and do the right thing - call us."
