When Melbourne cabbie Muktar Hussan went to pick up the taxi he shared with his son he made a grim discovery.
Mohamud Muketar, 31, was dead. He was murdered in a savage and prolonged stabbing attack while walking home in Fitzroy about 11.30pm on April 20, 2016.
A composite image of his suspected killer and CCTV of a white Toyota Yaris driving in the area at the time were released by Victoria Police on Friday.
Mr Hussan said his son was a good man, trying to lead a normal life and didn"t have a problem with anyone.
"Why him? That"s the question," Mr Hussan told reporters.
The father and son refugees from Somali came to Australia to "change our life" and earn money to support their large family.
The killer deliberately crossed the road to get to Mr Muketar but a small amount of cash carried by the driver wasn"t taken.
"He was savagely attacked, it was a brutal attack and it was sustained for a period of time," Homicide Squad Detective Senior Sergeant Stephen McIntyre said.
Police are hunting for a man of Caucasian appearance, aged 20 to 40, about 183cm tall with a lanky build and shoulder-length sandy blond hair that recedes at the top.
At the time he was wearing a dark top and dark pants, which may be jeans.
The late-model Yaris was seen driving in the area about 10 minutes after Mr Muketar was killed and did laps of Moor and George streets in Fitzroy,
It was also parked in a nearby alleyway for up to three minutes a number of times.
Police are also appealing a cyclist caught in CCTV footage, that also briefly depicts the killer, to come forward.

The ratio of thumbs down to thumbs up at the ads YouTube page is running better than four to one as I write this. Clearly they were going for their own lame take on the famous Id like to teach the world to sing hippie Coke spot from the early 70s, but thats not where the zeitgeist is right now. To put it mildly.
And so they stand accused of a serious offense: Un-wokeness in the first degree.
If the Black Lives Matter movement were led by a 21-year-old white supermodel armed with a can of fizzy soda, then maybe everyone would just get along.
Thats the vision presented in pepsis new ad featuring reality tv star Kendall Jenner which has been met with widespread condemnation, with critics accusing the drinks giant of appropriating a nationwide protest movement following police shootings of African Americans
Many people believe the final scene in particular is a direct reference to one of the defining images of the Black Lives Matter movement: a photograph of Ieshia Evans, a 28-year-old nurse being detained in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.
The cop scene does seem to be the key moment driving the online outrage Olympics over the ad, with NYT blowhard Charles Blow going for gold:
In fairness to critics, it is subversive. I didnt read it as a commentary on Black Lives Matter specifically so much as a goof on Resistance!-era protest chic. The kids here arent protesting anything in particular; the protest seems to be mostly an excuse to get together outside with people their age and congratulate themselves for joining the conversation or whatever. Its utterly vacuous and vain. Of course a next-gen Kardashian is at the center of it. Quite a kick in the nuts to demoralized lefties who got their first shot of post-election morale from the big Womens March rallies the day after Trumps inauguration and the subsequent airport protests after Trumps travel ban. Its amazing that Pepsi didnt see the backlash coming.
Portlandia did a spot-on parody of the sensibility behind this ad years before the ad itself came into being. Watch the second clip below. Millennials are going to change police brutality, one party at a time.
Luckily, Louis C.K. isnt on Twitter, because some tweets are likely headed his way after his Tuesday night visit to The Late Show.
Sitting down with host Stephen Colbert, the comedian was promoting his new Netflix stand-up special when the conversation shifted to Donald Trump. The Emmy winner broke downthe food chain of liars, beginning with someone who got caught in a lie and ending up at the president.
Hes just a gross, crook, dirty, rotten, lying sack of s, said C.K., earning strong support from the crowd. The comedian contended that his assessment wasnt a political position.
Then, Colbert singled out one seemingly random fan as a Trump voter, causing C.K. to respond, He lied to him. He didnt lie to me. Everybody else was like, Yeah, no, thats not true. But that guy bought it.

Esposa del pelotero Pedro Guerrero desmiente Muerte Cerebral en El Show del MediodÃa
LOS ANGELES >> Pedro Guerrero was transferred out of the intensive care unit of his Manhattan hospital Tuesday, one day after the former Dodgers slugger was hospitalized with a brain hemorrhage.
According to a source in contact with his family, Guerrero is able to shake his head and squeeze his hand in response to commands, a marked improvement from the previous night.
Earlier reports that Guerrero awoke from a coma were contradicted by a friend of his family, who said he spoke directly with Guerreros wife, Roxanna. According to that friend, Guerrero is comatose and still faces surgery to relieve bleeding and pressure in his brain.
Guerrero, 60, is under the care of Dr. Rafael Ortiz at Lenox Hill Hospital. Ortiz is the same physician who cared for Guerrero when he suffered a stroke in Feb. 2015.
He recovered from that so G*d willing h**l recover from this, said Dodgers coach Steve Yeager, Guerreros former teammate in Los Angeles.
One of Guerreros friends told the Southern California News Group that he and his wife were driving to a gym in Queens around 6 p.m. local time Monday when Guerrero felt cramps in his head and pulled to the side of the road. He was taken to the nearest hospital and placed in a medically-induced coma.
The same source said that Guerrero was transferred to Lenox Hill and was able to squeeze hands on command by midday.
Guerrero played 15 seasons in the major leagues. As a Dodger from 1978-88, he made three all-star teams and finished in the top four in National League MVP voting three times.
Guerrero, Yeager and Ron Cey were named World Series co-Most Valuable Players in 1981 as the Dodgers beat the New York Yankees. Guerrero hit two home runs in the six-game series.
He had a lifetime batting average of .300, which puts him in the one percentile of all players who played Major League Baseball, Cey said. His career wasnt that long but he certainly did damage in the time that he played. He was a dominant factor in our lineup and the other lineups that he played with as well.
Guerrero was chosen to the 1981, 1983 and 1985 National League All-Star teams. He won a Silver Slugger award in 1982.
Guerreros 15 home runs in June 1985 equaled the Dodgers franchise record for a single month. In July 1985 he reached base in a franchise-record 14 consecutive plate appearances, two shy of Ted Williams all-time mark.
A knee injury derailed Guerreros 1986 season, limiting him to 31 games.
I think I was managing A-ball when we heard on the way back from a spring training road trip that he hurt himself at third base and was out for the year, Dodgers broadcaster Kevin Kennedy said. We knew our season was done without Pedro. Thats how good he was.

The next season, 1987, Guerrero batted .338 with 27 home runs and was chosen NL Comeback Player of the Year.
Guerrero was traded to the Cardinals in August 1988 and played his final major league game for St. Louis in 1992. Guerrero spent a portion of the 1995 season with the Angels Double-A affiliate, his final year of organized baseball.
Known for his elite bat, guerrero also built a reputation as a hard drinker, drug user and partier off the field. He was arrested in Sept. 1999 and charged with attempting to purchase cocaine with the intent to distribute. He was acquitted in June 2000 after Guerreros attorney argued that his client didnt understand what he was doing.
Guerrero acknowledged in a 2010 interview that his bad habits cut short his playing career. By that time, he said, he had quit drinking and was ready to return to baseball. He coached at various levels from 2011-2014 in the U.S. and Mexico.
Guerrero participated in a Legends game at Dodger Stadium in 2015. In 2016, Guerrero visited Dodger Stadium to throw the ceremonial first pitch prior to a game against the Colorado Rockies in July. He also participated in a Dodgers fantasy camp in Glendale, Arizona.
Petes personality is so wonderful now, said Dodgers broadcaster Orel Hershiser, another of Guerreros former teammates. When you see him come through the other physical issues hes already come through, then when he came out (for the Legends Game) it seemed like he had softened a lot. He was a kinder, gentler spirit.
Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. at Stanford - "The other America" 1967
Even though Black History Month was in February, theres always time for a necessary moment to pay homage to the people who came before us to understand the path up ahead. This is where Killa Kyleon, one of the most thought-provoking and provocative lyricists to come out of Houston, plays a role. On his new EP, Lorraine Motel, he speaks on a heated topic on the first single, Killing Over Jays.
READ: Killa Kyleon Gets On The Grind With Styles P, Freddie Gibbs & Raheem DeVaughn
The song is a short, but heavy-handed record that features the Texan spilling rhymes about the innocent lives being taken over expensive basketball sneakers in poor neighborhoodswhile Michael Jordan remains silent on the matter. Kyleons first verse memorablystands out because it tells the all too familiar story of a youngster working hard and saving his money to buy a pair of kicks, only to be robbed and killed by local haters. He paints a very vivid picture over the jazzy, bass and horn-filled production of legendary H-Town fixture, Cory Mo.
Kyleon explains that the need for the project and its relevancy to issues in the African-American community is what motivated him to hit the studio.
TheLorraine Motelproject is directed at whats going on in todays society within the black community as a whole, Kyleonsays. Its not a one-sided commentary, it deals with the treatment people of color have been receiving from law enforcement and how we are programmed and influenced by social media, television and the culture of hip-hop to treat each other as well. As a race and culture, we need to stand together, but also take accountability for our actions. I feel the black American dream and ideal died when MLK was murdered in Memphis (at theLorraine Motel).
The timely EP also serves as an analogy of todays climate in America, he adds. We all (African Americans) died that day at theLorraine Motel. Barack Obama is the last of one of our strongest black leaders to lead us as a race. TheLorraine Motelproject focuses on events (both past and current) that have taken place since that fatal day.
Sucre Asks To Join Lincoln In Finding Michael | Season 5 Ep. 1 | PRISON BREAK
The drama has made an incredible comeback after it first aired in 2005 on Fox and ended in 2009 after four seasons.
Following the long break, the US programme has been revived and it"s fifth season certainly pleased viewers as they rushed to social media to gush about its return in the US.
@PrisonBreak definitely didn"t disappoint! So much action packed into one episode. Can"t wait for the rest of the season.
My heart is so happy prison break is back, said another, whilst a third added: I missed you so much prison break! Welcome back.
The shows comeback was too much for one fan as they tweeted: Im crying so hard, everything was on point, like Im shook right now!! #PrisonBreak.
In the last season, viewers were led to believe that Michael Scofield (played by Wentworth Miller) was dead.
But in the opening episode, the truths were unravelled as his brother Lincoln Burrows (Dominic Purcell) discovered he is in fact alive and is being held in a Yemen prison.
After tracking him down, the two siblings come face-to-face but its clear Michael is hiding something.
He now goes under the false name Kaniel Outis and claimed he doesnt know who his brother is.
Talking about the character, executive producer Paul Scheuring told The Hollywood Reporter: By the end of the first episode, we really wanted to leave a question mark over the character of Michael.
Who is he? What has he become? Is it him? If it"s not him, who is this man that looks exactly like him? Also, if it is him, could those seven years have massively changed him?"
prison break returns to the uk next Tuesday at 9pm on FOX UK.

LA VERNIA, Texas (AP) The case of 10 Texas high school students charged with sexual assault in a hazing scandal involving athletes will now be investigated by the texas rangers and the texas Attorney Generals Office.
Wilson County Attorney Tom Caldwell told the San Antonio Express-News that local prosecutors made the decision to turn the case over to state authorities in order to ensure completely neutrality.
Seven juveniles and three adults are charged with allegations dating back as far as 2014. Authorities allege the students who were athletes at La Vernia High School took part in assaulting teammates while hazing them.
The allegations have rocked La Vernia, a farming town of about 1,000 residents situated about 20 miles east of San Antonio. Students from surrounding communities attend the high school.
