Mr Hassan - who had a brother, 9, and a sister, 11 - was fatally stabbed by a Waitrose near West Kensington tube station at around 2pm.

Today his devastated family remembered him as a 'wonderful boy' who dreamed of becoming a barrister.
His mother, Siraad Aden, 38, told The Standard through tears at the family home on the White City estate: 'He wasn't only a son, he was my best friend. We want justice.'
An aunt, who did not want to be named, said the teenager was studying at Hammersmith College and, 'as far as we know', was not involved in gangs.
Forensic officers were searching drains near the crime scene last night and recovered what appeared to be a knife.
Emergency services including London's Air Ambulance took Mr Hassan to hospital but he died a short time later.
It comes after a 37-year-old man who was stabbed in Soho early on Sunday morning was pronounced dead last night.
Yousef Bahadory, who owns a dry cleaners close to the scene of the West Kensington stabbing, said he did not see the stabbing but was alerted to it by a friend who works next to his business.
He said there were about five boys who were around 19 or younger messing around and shouting outside his shop when one of them was pushed into his window, and he asked them to leave.
The group then went into a coffee shop to have something to eat before leaving and it was after this that he was told there had been a stabbing.
'When everything had finished the guy ran away, I did not see the knife - within a minute he had disappeared,' he said.
'The boy was on the floor. There was so much blood. Someone went to get a doctor from the surgery nearby and she was pumping his chest.'
Neighbour Rosie Hayes was one of the first people on the scene, and said there had been no noise or disturbance beforehand.
'I was in my house and my cousin was leaving, and we noticed there was a group of four guys and they were maybe drunk - there was something going on but we didn't understand anyone was injured at that stage,' she said.
'She left (my cousin) and they started calling for help... so then my neighbour and I have both came out of our houses at the same time and the group asked us for help.
'So we went over to assist... we stayed with them until a wonderful nurse turned up and she was amazing at taking control of the situation until the paramedics arrived.'
Mrs Hayes said there were three boys with the victim who were in their late teens.
'They were upset and maybe a little bit aggressive too,' Mrs Hayes added. 'There was obviously a bit of an argument going on maybe. They were out of their depth, they didn't know how to deal with the situation.'
She said the boy who had been stabbed was still conscious, adding: 'We just did everything we could to make him comfortable. So another neighbour was wonderful and went and got a pillow for his head, I'd already got a towel... we just tried to keep him warm and give the nurse assistance.'
Mrs Hayes said it looked like the boy had been stabbed in the chest.
She added: 'It is quite shocking, we live on a cul de sac and these things happen all over London now - when is it going to stop? There should be more respect for life.'
Chief Superintendent Rob Jones, from the Metropolitan Police, said: 'I understand the devastating effect that this incident will have not only on the victim's loved ones, but also on the wider community.
'Our thoughts are with the victim's family at this sad time. There will be a heightened visible police presence in the area and local officers will also be supported by central specialist units to prevent any potential further incidents.'

The spate of violence has sparked a renewed political focus on knife crime.
Yesterday, London Mayor Sadiq Khan was criticised after he rolled his eyes and said 'I've done all I can' as he was grilled over his failure to tackle London's knife crime epidemic - four years after promising to do 'everything in my power' to cut stop and search.
The Mayor of London made the vow in 2015 while still on the campaign trail, claiming the tactic was 'overused' and undermined public confidence in the police.
In his Sky News interview today, Mr Khan said he had done 'as much as I am allowed to do under the law' to curb knife crime by raising council tax three years in a row and using money from business rates to invest in policing and youth services.
Instead, he insisted cuts in central government funding had left him hamstrung. 'The investment we are putting in doesn't fill the massive hole left by the Government,' he said in an interview with Sky News. Around 75 percent of his police budget comes from central government, with the rest coming from council tax and business rates.
At this point Sky's Sarah-Jane Mee interrupted, saying: 'You keep shifting it onto central government.' Mr Khan then rolled his eyes in frustration, before the presenter asked why he was not 'taking personal responsibility' for the issue.
Asked what he was doing to combat the epidemic, Mr Khan said: 'We are doing a number of things, City Hall is funding a violent crime task force; 300 officers who are targeting high knife crime areas.
'Over the course of the first eight months, they’ve made over 3,000 arrests leading to charges and taken more than 1,000 knifes and offensive weapons off the streets.
'The point I make is the causes of the increase in violent crime are complex, deep-seated problems.
'I’m not excusing criminality, poverty, social alienation, inequality, mental health issues, but these are made far worse by the massive cuts we’ve had in police numbers and preventative services.
'That is why we are lobbying the Prime Minister to step up and take a lead on this issue.'
Mr Khan also faced criticism for jetting off on holiday with his wife to Marrakech on Saturday, hours after the unprovoked murder of 17-year-old girl scout Jodie Chesney - and fatal stabbing of A* student Yousef Makki - shocked Britain.
It sparked a huge debate on how to tackle the knife crisis gripping the UK's streets, with Theresa May, Sajid Javid and police chiefs all weighing in on the 'national emergency'.
And yesterday Chancellor Philip Hammond faced a backlash after he rejected a plea for more cash to curb the problem - then suggested officers may get money if Brexit goes smoothly.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
