A Rochdale man who was murdered while on holiday in Sri Lanka died trying to protect his partner from a group of local men who went on to brutally assault her, his family has been told.

Khuram's brother Nasir flew to the country last week to speak with police and politicians over fears of corruption and political cover up in the case.
