Dead man praised

Christchurch: A man allegedly murdered in Christchurch at the weekend has been remembered as a joyful and warm person and a ‘‘very good’’ friend.

Krazy Price Mart colleague Nishaal Nikesh said Faiz Ali was a joyful person who was great with his customers.

‘‘He was a very kindhearted guy, very helpful,’’ he said.

It has been revealed Mr Ali’s father died just weeks ago.

A 38yearold man has been charged with murder and appeared in the Christchurch District Court earlier this week where Judge Mark Callaghan remanded him in custody without plea to next appear in the High Court at Christchurch on March 14.
