Wife of man found dying in van says he was a devoted husband

The wife of a man found dying in the back of a van in a Home Counties village has said he was a devoted husband who would never risk his family’s safety

Shaleem Amar, 33, was found in a white Mercedes Sprinter after police fire-arms officers pulled over the vehicle on the A30 in Sunningdale, Berkshire, on November 17.

Four men were charged with his murder after a post-mortem examination showed Mr Amar, who had moved to the area with his family just two months ago, died from head injuries.

His wife, who did not want to be named, paid tribute to him, describing how his favourite words to her and their three children were, “I love you more than life itself”. She told how she last saw her husband the day before he was killed when they spent time at the family home, adding that he was an “innocent victim in this ruthless murder”.
