A GRIEVING family have paid tribute to a “loving and caring” 82-year-old man who died after being attacked whilst waiting for a bus in Birmingham.
Allen Karam Chand was attacked in Soho Road, Handsworth at around 3.30pm on Tuesday 14 January and died in hospital the following weekend.
In a tribute released today (January 30) his family said: "Our father was loving, caring, and never deceived anyone. He taught us to respect the law as an ex-army man and we will always miss him.
"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. Jesus said whoever believes in me, though he may die he shall live.
"Our father is not physically with us, but he is alive with Lord Jesus."
A preliminary post mortem revealed Mr Chand died as a result of a head injury, West Midlands Police said.
A 43-year-old man was charged with wounding on January 17. He appeared at court the next day and was remanded to appear at Birmingham Crown Court on February 14.
In a statement, West Midlands Police said: “As a result of Mr Chand’s death, we are now reviewing the charge in conjunction with the Crown Prosecution Service.
“We still want to hear from anyone with information. particularly any dashcam or mobile phone footage. You can send it directly to our officers here: Public Portal (mipp.police.uk)
“We can also be reached via 101 or Live Chat, or via contacting Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.”
