Mr Mahamed said his son died on his 28th birthday and described him as "caring and kind and very loved by many".

"We still need the public's help in getting information on what happened on the night of our son's death," he said in the video released by Thames Valley Police.

He said he was "extremely grateful" to people who had already come forward to speak to police.

"But there are others who might have information but haven't contacted the police," he added.
