In 2010 Aya Hachem’s family fled war-torn Lebanon to seek a safer life elsewhere. The family made the decision after Ismail Hachem had been struck by a bullet in crossfire while serving in the army during conflict.
Mr Hachem travelled with his wife and three children more than 5,000km to the UK. He hoped that the country would provide peace and stability for his young family.
This all changed in May 2019 when his oldest daughter, Aya, was gunned down in a bitter feud between rival car tyre firms in Blackburn. She was only 19 years old when she was shot, LancsLive reports.
