The devastated family of a young father who was allegedly murdered before he could meet his only child have spoken of their heartbreak after his remains were found in a Bucks woodland. 

In a heartbreaking statement, Mohammed Shah Subhani's sister Quirat said: "We kept our faith high and believed our beloved brother will return.

"It broke our hearts and shattered our world when we were told Shah’s body was discovered in an abandoned woodland 15 miles from home.

"Someone maliciously killed the apple of our eye, turned our world upside down and dumped him in an isolated woodland for his body to decompose and for us to be left with nothing but his bones, this will haunt us for a lifetime.

"Someone must know something... they must come forward and help us get justice for Shah.

"Our hearts will never heal but what our brother does deserve is for justice to be served.

"We need the public’s help to think back seven months and try to remember anything that can help."

DCI Noel McHugh, who is leading the investigation, said those living in and around Hedgerley have been helpful to the investigation so far - but urged more people to come forward if they have any clues that could help.
