The daughter of warehouse manager Akhtar Javeed and other family members chose to watch CCTV footage of his final moments before the trial of two men accused of his murder.

The footage showed Mr Javeed being shot as he tried to escape from his catering supplies company in Digbeth, Birmingham.

Following the conviction of one defendant for manslaughter and two others for conspiracy to commit robbery, Mr Javeed's daughter Lilas paid tribute to him as the "best dad you could ever wish for".

Ms Javeed also said the impact of the killing on her family was hard to put it into words.

"I think sometimes tears speak more than words - and what I can say is that not a day has gone past for any one of us in the family without actually crying and feeling sad for him," she said.

"We miss him a lot and we wish he was still here with us today. He was always the life and soul of every party or occasion."

The grieving relative added: "He was the kind of person who was very caring, a true gentleman, selfless and helpful - the best dad you could ever wish for really, a good husband and a good friend.

"I think it's harder because it wasn't a natural death - when someone dies naturally you can talk yourself through what's happened and start grieving but it's really hard to make sense of what's happened."

The 30-year-old counsellor added: "Sitting through (the trial) it has been emotionally draining and physically draining as well.

"I think the hardest bit was actually seeing the footage of what had gone on - to see your dad's last moments being as horrendous as they were.

"He was helpless and we feel like we couldn't help him."

Although family members opted to leave court when footage of the shooting was shown to the jury, they asked police if they could see the "deeply distressing" images before the hearing.

Detective Chief Inspector Martin Slevin said: "The family asked to view the footage prior to the trial and that's something we offered them the opportunity to do because we wouldn't allow them to see it for the first time in a court setting.

"Clearly it needed to be shown to the jury to show the extent of the offence and the amount of violence used against the victim."
