Bijan Ebrahimi murder: Police 'let vulnerable man down'

The sister of a man who was murdered and his body set on fire following false rumours he was a paedophile has said he was "let down" by the police.

Manisha Moores said Iranian-born Bijan Ebrahimi had come to England as a refugee in 2001 to find a better life.

He was arrested by police after he was seen taking pictures around the Bristol estate where he lived.

The two men responsible for Mr Ebrahimi's death will be sentenced on Thursday.
