Although there was a £20,000 for any information about his killers, Bjorn's murderer's have yet to face justice.

"It makes me sick to know that somebody might walk past me. and they know the person who has done it," Sandi told Sky News.

"It's terrifying because the killers feel like they've got away with it so they could go and do it to somebody else.

"I think it's disgusting that after what they've done, they can still get away with it and still be out there running around, living their lives, like they've not done anything wrong.

"I really believe people out there know who has done it, but it's always a wall of silence.

"If they're out there thinking they will never be caught, their conscience and guilt and karma will catch up very, very soon because I will never stop looking."

Following Bjorn's tragic death, Rapper Stormzy, who was a childhood friend of his, paid tribute to him by holding a minute's silence at one of his concerts.
