The family of a young man fatally stabbed in Bury have paid a moving tribute to him, describing him as “the heartbeat and soul” of their lives.
The victim, named as Mohammed Isa, died after sustaining stab wounds on Friday, 1 August.
Greater Manchester Police confirmed that three people have since been charged with murder. All remain in custody ahead of a trial scheduled for February 2026.
In a heartfelt statement, his family said Mohammed was “our precious, beautiful son who had a pure heart” and remembered him as a young man with “an infectious smile, laughter, charm and aura about him”.
They added:
“He was a most genuine and loving soul … respected by people of all ages and cultures. He always put others before himself.”
“Our heart is filled with grief and pain … the reality that we will no longer see him or hear his voice on the phone.”
“Mohammed Isa has left his legacy of being a kind, likeable, respectful, and caring young man who was so loved.”
The family also thanked GMP for its work and praised the “endless stream of family, friends, local mosques and the community” for their support.
In his memory, relatives have launched a fundraising page to build a mosque, asking anyone wishing to honour Mohammed to support the project.
