The children of a man killed when attending an Oldbury charity function at have spoken about how their "lives will never be the same."

Inderjit Singh Dhariwal, 49 and a production operative, died in hospital the day after he was attacked at Samsons Banqueting Suite in Rood End Road, just before 2am last Sunday (November 22).

Pooja Dhariwal, 21, the daughter of Inderjit, paid an emotional tribute to her father.

She said: "Our father was the kindest soul on the planet. He put everybody before himself and was always willing to help.

"He had many big things to look forward to; his 50th birthday, both of my brothers 21st birthdays, his granddaughters 1st birthday and many more.

She added: "Our dad meant the world to us and his loss has shaken the family as well as the community. Our lives will never be the same without our taxi, our friend, our confidant, our dad."

"We miss you dad and love you forever, your legacy lives on and you will never be forgotten. RIP."
