Family heads to UK for Bidve's body

Slain Indian student Anuj Bidve's body is finally with the Indian High Commission in UK.

Family members of murdered Indian student Anuj Bidve are expected to arrive in Greater Manchester on Wednesday. Early on Wednesday morning, the Bidve family left Pune for Mumbai from where they are expected to catch a flight to the UK.

The UK Police have handed over Bidve's body to the Indian High Commission after a second autopsy was carried out on the 23-year-old's body on Tuesday.

Bidve's family is expected to return to India with his body on Friday after completing all the formalities.

Bidve was shot at point blank range in the head near the hotel where he was staying with his friends in the inner-city Ordsall district of Greater Manchester in the early hours of December 26.

A 20-year-old Briton Kiaran Stapleton, from the Ordsall area, has been charged with the murder of the Indian student Anuj Bidve. Stapleton has been remanded to custody. Stapleton had described himself as "Psycho Stapleton" before the court.

On Monday, two police officers from the Greater Manchester police force had visited the Bidve family at their home in Pune. The Greater Manchester police have promised justice to the Bidve family for the murder which is being seen as a hate crime.
