n an emotional Facebook post last night, Isaiah’s twin sister, Iman Anne Usen-Satchell, named her brother and spoke of her devastation at his loss.

She said: “I’m so heartbroken guys, so, so, so, so heartbroken, I can’t cope...he’s gone, and there’s nothing that can bring him back at all.

“You were so loved by everyone Isaiah.

“Big thank you to all the messages we’ve all received and all the support off everyone so far, it’s so satisfying and relieving to know that he touched so many people’s lives and that so many people genuinely love him and feel the same heartache as his close family do.
