Grieving Sheffield mum pleads for safer barriers in high rise buildings nine years after son’s death
  • 3 years ago
The untimely death of a five-year-old Afghan child whose life was cut short after he fell from a hotel window last month shocked Sheffield, but for one woman, this awful tragedy brought back painful memories.

It has been nine, arduous long years for Ann Khan of Darnall to finally have the courage to speak up after her own son, fell to his death from the top floor of one of the city's iconic buildings, the Q Park on Charles Street, or popularly known as the 'Cheesegrater.'

Still reeling from the loss of her beloved son, the grief-stricken mum-of-six chose to keep silent all these years until the city was rocked by the sudden death of the Afghan boy, Mohammed Munib Majeedi, whose family escaped the Taliban to seek asylum in the UK.

And just like her son's, she believes that Muhammed's death was preventable and more needs to be done to prevent further deaths involving high rise buildings.
