The family of a man murdered at an Edinburgh bus stop have paid tribute to a "loving husband and father".
Nashir Ahmed, 65, was assaulted earlier in March while waiting for a bus on the city's Ferry Road.
He died from his injuries in hospital five days after the attack.
Police stated that they are currently following several lines of inquiry regarding the murder.
Mr Ahmed's family said that they would remember him for his "warmth and kindness."
They stated: "Nashir was a loving husband and father.
"He was a big part of our family and we are devastated at losing him. He was heavily involved in Edinburgh’s Bangladeshi community and will be greatly missed.
"He loved life and cared for all his family and friends. We will always remember his warmth and his kindness."
Mr Ahmed was waiting for a bus alongside a 48-year-old man around 20:30 on Sunday 10 March when they were attacked by a man.
Emergency services attended and both men were taken to the Edinburgh Royal Infirmary, where Mr Ahmed died on 15 March.
'Left feeling bereft'
The attacker is described as black, around 30-years of age, with short, dark hair. He was wearing a red tartan scarf and a long, black jacket with a hood.
Det Ch Insp George Calder said the circumstances of the death were "heartbreaking".
He stated: “A family has been left feeling bereft as they come to terms with losing someone so integral to their lives. The circumstances are heartbreaking, and I can’t possibly imagine the pain they are feeling during these difficult times."
Det Ch Insp Calder added that anyone with any information about the case, no matter how small, should contact the police.
