Video: Family friend puzzled by Harlow arson attack Parvez Hamid, a friend of the Shakoor family devastated by a house fire in Harlow, Essex, says he can't understand why anyone would target them. Mr Hamid said he had "no idea why such a thing would happen to such a nice family - we just can't comprehend." He said the whole of the local community was in a state of shock over the suspected arson attack, which killed Sabah Usmani, a 44-year-old GP, and her sons Sohaib, 11, and Rayan, six, as well as 12-year-old daughter Hira. Another son, Muneeb, nine, died later in hospital. Dr Usmani's husband, 45-year-old hospital consultant Abdul Shakoor, survived but suffered smoke inhalation and severe shock. The couple's three-year-old daughter is in a critical but stable condition.
