‘Devastated’ family pay tribute to former UWE university student found dead in a flat

The family of a former University of West England student who died following an incident in Easton have paid tribute to him.

Fahad Pramanik, aged 27, was found dead at a house in Wood Street on September 12.

His was one of two bodies discovered at the property.

Fahad, who was from London, was a member of the Bristol Bangladeshi Society and a student at UWE in the 2018-19 academic year.

His family, who live in Bangladesh, paid tribute with support from a liaison officer from Avon and Somerset Police.

They said: “As a family we are devastated with what has happened to Fahad.

“We ask most humbly that our family’s privacy is respected whilst we grieve and come to terms with the loss of Fahad in such tragic circumstances.

“Whilst we understand this is a news story, we hope everyone can understand why we need to be left alone at this very difficult time.

““We have family and good friends supporting us and our thanks go out to all of them. We also want justice for Fahad through a fair trial.

“We would also like to thank the police officers involved in the investigation for their hard work and sensitivity.”

Two men have been charged with two counts of murder and are in custody pending their next appearance at Bristol Crown Court.
