Sajed Choudry, 43, had been in a coma since the assault on him and his son Ashan, 24, in Blackburn last month. He is said to have undergone a 14-hour operation to have his ears reattached using a skin graft from his legs. Lancashire police said Choudry had died from his injuries on Thursday and his family had asked for privacy. Last week, Sajed Choudry’s daughter, Mariya, 22, said the family were in shock and felt “totally numb” after the attack.
