:01:18. > :01:20.Inside the Minster's choir, the congregation joined together

:01:24. > :01:28.tears as he paid tribute to her, describing her as a smart, fun,

:01:29. > :01:40.beautiful child who will live on forever in our hearts.

:01:51. > :02:01.Three days after the child died, I went and met

:02:02. > :02:06.And, of course, I've got to know them.

:02:07. > :02:09.I felt I was speaking to families that I know

:02:10. > :02:11.rather than to parishioners or churchgoers.

:02:12. > :02:15.So I really got to know them and also they gave me a lot of

:02:16. > :02:18.things about Katie, which you could understand.

:02:19. > :02:20.And I've met her five times, so there was a memory.

:02:21. > :02:25.She was found with serious neck and chest injuries on a playing

:02:26. > :02:28.field not far from her home and died later in hospital.

:02:39. > :02:41.to pay their respects to a little girl they didn't know

:02:42. > :02:47.It's moved the whole city and there's a couple of other

:02:48. > :02:49.events on later this week that we're helping with

:02:50. > :02:52.to raise money for two York charities,

:02:53. > :02:56.and we just want to remember her as a lovely

:02:57. > :02:58.little girl and leave a legacy and not remember her

:02:59. > :03:04.After the service, Katies coffin was carried out

:03:05. > :03:08.He's Got The Whole World In His Hands with the words

:03:09. > :03:11.changed to, "He's got Katie in his hands."

:03:12. > :03:13.And then, as she was slowly driven away for a private

:03:14. > :03:17.service of committal, there was spontaneous applause.

:03:18. > :03:19.This personal family tragedy has become

:03:20. > :03:22.something very public and now her parents are going

:03:23. > :03:24.to set up a lasting memorial to the daughter

:03:25. > :03:34.In Leeds, flowers continue to be left at the scene

:03:35. > :03:37.where a schoolboy was stabbed on Friday.

:03:38. > :03:42.Detectives are continuing to investigate the incident

:03:43. > :03:45.and a 16-year-old boy remains in custody.

:03:46. > :03:48.Meanwhile members of the community are asking people who possess

:03:49. > :03:53.dangerous weapons to hand them in as Ian White reports.

:03:54. > :03:55.This is 16-year-old Irfan Wahid,

:03:56. > :03:58.the latest teenage murder victim in Harehills.

:03:59. > :04:01.He died on Friday after receiving a single stab wound to his chest

:04:02. > :04:05.in the centre of this bustling part of Leeds.

:04:06. > :04:08.Tonight, one of his former teachers told me what he was like.

:04:09. > :04:10.He was just the happiest, smiliest boy.

:04:11. > :04:13.He was always desperate to please you.

:04:14. > :04:17.We worked so hard on his maths ability while

:04:18. > :04:20.we had him and he just achieved fantastic results when he left

:04:21. > :04:22.for high school and I just got the enormous feeling

:04:23. > :04:29.Two teenagers have been arrested in connection with Irfan's murder.

:04:30. > :04:32.A 15-year-old boy was released without charge

:04:33. > :04:35.but a 16-year-old remains in custody being questioned.

:04:36. > :04:38.Since Friday, the number of floral tributes being left here

:04:39. > :04:44.They're worried about gun crime and knife crime so

:04:45. > :04:47.they have decided to do something about it, leaving this bucket here

:04:48. > :04:52.with a sign, "Stop the knife crime, simply put your weapon in here."

:04:53. > :04:55.It's just over a fortnight since another teenager,

:04:56. > :04:57.Raheem Wilks, the brother of a Leeds United footballer,

:04:58. > :05:02.And yesterday, another murder investigation was launched

:05:03. > :05:07.when a man's body was found by an ambulance crew in Harehills.

:05:08. > :05:09.People who know this area well say something needs

:05:10. > :05:14.Recently what's been going on around here,

:05:15. > :05:18.me being a parent myself and having children, it's not something

:05:19. > :05:27.Me, I usually wouldn't come across as a person who would say

:05:28. > :05:29.I am frightened, but yeah, I am frightened.

:05:30. > :05:35.My message to the community is actually that we all know

:05:36. > :05:38.that East Leeds is not perfect, Harehills isn't perfect,

:05:39. > :05:44.It is a tragedy that has happened at a young life in our community

:05:45. > :05:48.has been taken but people from the outside will say

:05:49. > :05:51.that this is a bad place, this is a bad community.

:05:52. > :05:57.Harehills is full of wonderful people.

:05:58. > :06:00.Prayers have been said at the local mosque for Irfan Wahid

:06:01. > :06:02.and councillors have called on the community to support

:06:03. > :06:12.Friends of the dead boy hope to hold a vigil on Wednesday.

:06:13. > :06:15.A brief look at some of the day's other stories.

:06:16. > :06:18.A teenager who praised the killer of MP Jo Cox has been found guilty

:06:19. > :06:22.of making a home-made pipe bomb in his bedroom in Bradford.

:06:23. > :06:24.The 17-year-old, whose room was plastered

:06:25. > :06:27.with Nazi paraphernalia, was arrested after sharing images

:06:28. > :06:33.He's been sentenced to a three-year youth rehabilitation order,

:06:34. > :06:43.which includes counselling with a de-radicalisation expert.

:06:44. > :06:49.Tesco has promised urgent action after a BBC investigation found that

:06:50. > :06:50.many advertised promotions had actually inspired. An undercover

:06:51. > :06:54.reporter was overcharged several reporter was overcharged several

:06:55. > :06:58.times in stores across Leeds. In some cases, gales were still on

:06:59. > :07:01.display almost a month after price changes had ended. Tesco says it

:07:02. > :07:03.will double check the accuracy of pricing at all its stores.

:07:04. > :07:05.A new scheme, being piloted in Yorkshire,

:07:06. > :07:07.is helping more of the Muslim community to access

:07:08. > :07:11.It's hoped that being more able to talk about faith in

:07:12. > :07:14.the therapy room will encourage more of those in need to seek help

:07:15. > :07:20.Mental health - famously, it's something we don't like

:07:21. > :07:23.talking about and in some communities, the stigma is severe.

:07:24. > :07:30.And it's not actually tackled, it's not actually addressed.

:07:31. > :07:34.She's had serious depression and to remain anonymous

:07:35. > :07:37.because she's afraid of what her friends will think.

:07:38. > :07:42.I just felt I had to constantly keep myself strong

:07:43. > :07:55.But now a new kind of treatment is being piloted

:07:56. > :07:58.that brings religion into the therapy room

:07:59. > :08:02.It's concreted it for me and I feel happy that I can

:08:03. > :08:07.live my life with my religion and I know that I have

:08:08. > :08:10.the support from within the Koran, from within Islam.

:08:11. > :08:14.In the past, faith and therapy have been kept very separate

:08:15. > :08:16.but this study proved that one can help the other,

:08:17. > :08:18.particularly in the Muslim community.

:08:19. > :08:21.A big concern though is that some therapists will feel out

:08:22. > :08:24.of their comfort zone talking about religion.

:08:25. > :08:26.People who have experienced services have often felt

:08:27. > :08:30.that they are not able to talk about that aspect of their identity

:08:31. > :08:34.and it is like a missing part of what they need to talk about.

:08:35. > :08:36.People who are Muslims see faith as a resource

:08:37. > :08:43.for well-being, as a resource for health.

:08:44. > :08:47.Only 4% of people who access the mental health service are Muslim

:08:48. > :08:49.and it's thought that there's still a reluctance

:08:50. > :08:54.I think perhaps Muslims are not recognising that there are mental

:08:55. > :08:56.health issues prevalent in our community and that is partly

:08:57. > :08:59.because some people think that when you are facing

:09:00. > :09:01.mental health issues, you are being possessed by a third party

:09:02. > :09:04.and that can have deeper consequences because that means

:09:05. > :09:09.and if you have family around you,

:09:10. > :09:14.In Islam, all situations are tested and we should not assume

:09:15. > :09:19.that difficulties that we face in life are punishments...

:09:20. > :09:22.It's these words, putting the Koran at the heart of

:09:23. > :09:24.Samia's treatment that have helped her feel better.

:09:25. > :09:28.It is hoped this could be a blueprint to help people

:09:29. > :09:43.Well, that's it from me. You up-to-date with the news this

:09:44. > :09:46.evening. The breakfast broadcasts will be at 6:25am tomorrow morning.
