Father-of-three Azmir was born in Sheffield and lived in Ilford, Essex.

absconding from a control order in May 2007.
The 24-year-old was made subject to a control order after being stopped en route to Syria from where, the British authorities claimed, he was planning to travel to Iraq or
Afghanistan for militant training or to fight Western forces.
