\"\"THE FAMILY of a student stabbed to death over a mobile phone have paid tribute to their \u201cwell respected\u201d and \u201cquiet\u201d son.<\/strong> <\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

A-level student Rizwan Darbar was stabbed in his stomach after refusing to give up his mobile phone after being confronted by three teenagers in West Ham Park, London. <\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

The 17-year-old was with his two friends when they were approached by the group who demanded they give up their phones. <\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

As his friends handed over their phones, Rizwan was stabbed in the stomach before he could comply. <\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

He collapsed and died later in hospital after suffering two massive heart attacks,<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

Today, his distraught family paid tribute to the youngster and offered a \u00a3100,000 reward for information on his killers.<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

His father Aiyub, 46, a travel agent, said: “He was a good boy, a very quiet and well-respected boy. <\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

“None of us can believe that this has happened to Rizwan. He was a good son and all I could have asked for. This has come as a body blow to our family. He loved playing football and spending time with his friends, he was just a normal boy.” <\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

His brother Tausif, 19, described the moment he found out his brother had been stabbed. <\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

His brother Tausif, 19, said: “I got a call from my mother, who was crying, to say that someone had phoned to say Rizwan had been stabbed. I went straight down there but they were already putting him in the ambulance. <\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

“They were giving him morphine but he was in so much pain that he couldn’t talk to me. He recognised me – at least he knew I was there with him. <\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

“He had been stabbed in the stomach once. There was blood but they said there was a lot of internal bleeding. <\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

“He suffered two heart attacks in the hospital. He survived the first but his body could not take the second.” <\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

He was taken to Newham General Hospital where he had emergency surgery but he later died. Tausif added: “I’ve spoken to one of the boys who was with him who said it was black guys who demanded their money and phones. <\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

“They say they handed them over and Rizwan was going to but hesitated and one of them stabbed him and they ran off.” <\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

Detectives investigating his murder are now scouring the park for the weapon. <\/div>\n
