His father speaks of Aamir's warmth and respect. How Aamir used to rest his head on his shoulder and tell him about his day. He tells how their lives have become blank and void.

His mother says the scars on her own body have healed but inside she is raw. She says they are afraid of answering the doorbell.His sisters speak in the most moving terms.

"The brutal beating of our beloved Aamir took the beating heart out our family. As the worldmoves on we are left feeling bereft of his love."
