Teen stabbed to death was refugee who fled Syria after bombing

Ahmad Mamdouh Al Ibrahim's family said he fled war-torn Homs to live with his uncle and dreamed of becoming a doctor, "wanting to heal others after all he had endured".

Ahmad recently moved to Huddersfield from the south Wales area.

The teenager died in hospital after being stabbed in the neck during an incident in the town last Thursday afternoon.

Ahmad's family paid tribute to their "kind, gentle" boy on the day the man accused of murdering him made his first appearance at a crown court.

They said: "Our beloved Ahmad was taken from us on April 3, 2025. He was only 16.

"Ahmad fled war-torn Homs, Syria, after being injured in a bombing. He chose to come to the UK because he believed in the values of human rights, safety and dignity.
