THE family of the 20-year-old stab victim have described him as a "model" student.

Yusufu Miiro had been studying criminology at Middlesex University before his life was cut short on Thursday.

Ironically, he had high hopes to become a police detective.

Mr Miiro had come to Britain from Uganda in 2002 and lived with his family.

His step-father Yusef Nsubuga described him as a "good person", who was always polite and stayed out of trouble.

Fatima Kabasinguzi, a relative, said he was studious and never involved in gangs.
