A teenage e-biker fatally injured two months ago has been described by his family as a "young man of kindness, honesty and quiet strength".

The 19-year-old victim, named as Ahmadzai Safi, died shortly after being found with serious injuries when police were called to reports of a collision in Dallow Road, Luton, on 18 September.

Bedfordshire Police said four men have now been arrested in connection with assisting an offender, while two men have been charged with murder.

In their tribute, Safi's family said: "He lived with integrity, walked with humility, and met life's challenges with patience and dignity."

"His gentle spirit, strong principles, and unwavering faith left a lasting impression on family, friends, and all who knew him," relatives said, adding they would remember him "with deep affection and enduring respect".

"Ahmadzai remains vivid and tender. He was more than words can hold, more than years can contain.

"His kindness lingered in small, quiet moments, his integrity spoke without sound, and his gentle strength carried others when their burdens were heavy.

"Though his time with us feels far too short, the love he gave and the values he embodied endure, softly echoing in every life he touched."

Police said they arrested two men - one in his 60s and one in his 20s - on Wednesday, another man in his 20s on Thursday, and a fourth man in his 20s on Sunday.

All four have since been bailed.

The two men charged with murder are in their 20s and currently remanded awaiting further court hearings, police added.

Det Insp Caeva Taylor, from the Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire and Hertfordshire Major Crime Unit, said: "Our thoughts are with Ahmadzai's family at this tragic time.

"Our investigation into this incident continues, and we are asking anyone who has information about it or has dashcam or CCTV footage from the area around the time, to please come forward."
