Death fire father 'has nobody now'
A grieving neurosurgeon whose family died in a suspected arson attack has told mourners at a funeral service that he is a bird without wings.
Dr Muhammad Taufiq Al Sattar led prayers for his wife Shehnila Taufiq, 47, and their three teenage children, Zainab, Bilal and Jamil in Dublin.
More than 1,000 people attended the janaza service at Warrenstown House in the Blanchardstown area of the city.
Eight people have been charged in connection with the deaths of the four family members, who died in the blaze at their home in Wood Hill, Leicester, on September 13.
It is feared the family's property was targeted by mistake in a revenge attack following a fatal assault in nearby Kent Street.
"This is a very sad occasion for me," said Dr Sattar, who works in Dublin's Beaumont Hospital.
"You can say now I am bird without any wings. I have nobody with me now."

Seeing those four coffins on the news, this morning, laid out on the lawn at the house, which the family had recently purchased with all of their savings, is truly gut-wrenching. This man is a saint, IMO, judging by the dignified way in which he has responded to his great loss..
