TANIA Nicol's family today told of their pain over her death.

Tania's uncle, Alhusain Nicol, described the murdered teenager as his beautiful niece.

He said: “She was loved by all our family. I just can't understand why some evil person would want to hurt her and her friend. I hope the police catch whoever did this soon.”

Mr Nicol, 45, who lives in Brighton, said Tania had appeared fine and happy when she and her mother came to stay in Brighton in the summer.
