The family of a man who died after being stabbed in Southend have said that no words can describe what they have been going through since his death.
Hassan Mohammed, 24, of Camberwell in London, died in Southend Hospital on Tuesday, July 8, following an incident in York Road which took place at around 7pm on Monday, July 7.
In a tribute released today, his family said: "Hassan was a very friendly, caring person.
"He grew from a boy into a man and was a protector and best friend to his family. He was loved by all but especially by his two nieces who adored their Uncle Hass immensely.
"We pray that justice is served and that he soon will be able to rest in peace."
He received two stab wounds and a post mortem revealed the provisional cause of his death as blood loss.
Detectives investigating Hassan's death have charged student Tajwar Alam, 18, of Seaford Road, North London with his murder.
He will appear before magistrates at Southend on Monday, July 14. He is also charged with possession of a bladed instrument.
