Yusuf Abramjee revealed that a relative was cleaning a gun, but appeared to have forgotten it was loaded. He accidental­ly pulled the trigger and Issa was shot at pointblank range, he added.

Issa had travelled with her daughter Humairah, 19, to spend a fortnight with family. Her three other children were at home in Leicester, with her husband Fayaz, 47, who worked for Leicester City Council.
