(21 October 2024) <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ishfaq was beaten and stabbed to death on Barlow Street, Bradford. 19 people have been arrested in connection to the incident so far, 16 for murder and three for violent disorder. All have been bailed pending further inquiries. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Senior Investigating Officer Detective Chief Inspector Stacey Atkinson of the Homicide and Major Enquiry team said: \u201cWe remain committed to getting answers and justice for Luqman\u2019s family. One year has passed since that fatal day, when he was chased and set up by a group of men on a Bradford Street. \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cLuqman\u2019s family remain supported by specialist officers, and we continue to keep them updated on the case. Significant lines of enquiry remain ongoing in this investigation; 19 people remain on police bail. \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI am continuing to appeal to the local community who witnessed the incident and have information that could help. Allegiances might have changed and however small that information is, may be key in getting justice for Luqman and his family. \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe terrible and reckless violence witnessed that day has no place in our communities. We will continue to investigate and get the people responsible before the courts.\u201d \u00a0 \u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>West Yorkshire Police are still investigating the murder of Luqman Ishfaq\u00a0in Bradford one year ago today.
