Eighteen years on from the murder of a man in Birmingham, his family has made an emotional plea for anyone with new information to come forward.

Mohammed Yasin was 50-years-old when he died from a gunshot wound on Wednesday 28 September 2005.

He was found near to the front door at his home in Whitehall Road, Bordesley Green.

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 of Yasin have released a statement: “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.”

The investigation remains open and detectives are encouraging anyone with information, no matter how small to get in touch.

Detective Superintendent Shaun Edwards 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 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."
