Faghi, who was fatally stabbed in a bloody knife fight Sunday, was buried at the Highland Cemetery in Carp yesterday, after a funeral prayer at the Omar Mosque in Bells Corners. As his last remains were interred, his family made a tearful plea to anyone who witnessed the fight to come forward and help police track the killer.
Circumstances surrounding the multiple stabbing remain murky.
They cannot be named under the provisions of the Young Offenders Act. We have full confidence that the police will bring the killer to justice. Yesterday, in the family's west-end Ottawa home, family, friends and community leaders tried vainly to come to terms with the tragedy. His death has shaken the Somali community. It is a wake-up call not only to the Somali community but the whole community.
