She said his condition is listed is stable.
Amin had left home on the evening of Sunday, August 19 to attend a wedding and was returning when tragedy stuck.
Sue said her brother related to her and other relatives that all he can recall is walking home.
“All he knows is that he was walking in the street to go home. He doesn’t know what happen after and he said he was not drunk”, Sue said.
The discovery was made by some villagers who were heading to the market. They immediately informed Amin’s parents, who are well-known in the community.
Following the incident, Sue had called on the police to conduct a thorough investigation into the matter.
She had also said that she hoped that whoever is responsible for the act will come forward. “I am hoping that we get justice. I am hoping that whoever did it, they can come forward and you know admit to what they have done because he could have lost his life,” Sue had said.
