FRIENDS and well-wishers have paid tribute to young Adil Khan, the Bradford boy believed to have been killed in Pakistan.

Unverified reports claim Adil, who was 14 years old, died in a shooting incident while he was on holiday.

A Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office spokesperson responded: “We are supporting the family of a British child who has died in Pakistan.”

Out of respect to his family, the T&A has opted not to publish an image of Adil circulating on social media until the circumstances of his death are formally confirmed.

Adil's death has prompted an outpouring of grief on social media.

Tributes were paid to him on the T&A's Facebook page today.
