In a statement released by North Wales Police, Mr Singh-Bhakar's wife, Sushi, said her shopkeeper husband had been a "real family man".

"He was so caring and everything he did was for his family and his two children," she said.

"He was my soul mate and everyone loved him to bits. We will miss his smile and the way he lit up a room when he walked in."
