The university’s Vice Chancellor, Maria Fasli, confirmed the news, and both the university and the parents of the victims are mourning the loss.

Reports claimed that emergency services had to construct a temporary wooden platform to free the bodies from the wreckage.

Daljang’s Elder Brother, Maneur, Shared A Heartfelt Tribute In The Loving Memory Of His Little Brother

Daljang was brought up in North London in a loving family with his older brother, Maneur, and mother, Suzy Longar.

His brother, Maneur shared a post on his Instagram following the passing of Daljang with childhood pictures of the brother together.

Furthermore, he wrote a heartfelt message, expressing his emotions and saying how proud he was of his little brother.

He expressed his disbelief and deep sorrow over Daljang’s passing, reflecting on their close bond and cherished memories together.

I can’t believe I’m even writing this, but here I go. Dear Daljang, My baby brother, my biggest blessing. March 23rd 2002 was the day Mum gave me the biggest blessing, to get the chance in life to call you my little brother, and boy did we have one helluva ride, we really did it all. Rest in beautiful peace, fly high, I love you. Forever my right hand man.

Manuer Wol

Wol’s brother reminisced about their childhood, shared dreams, and the incredible impact Daljang had on everyone he met. He vowed to make his little brother proud and keep his memory alive.

Further, the 22-year-old’s teammates from his basketball team also shared their condolences on social media.

Daljang shared a close bond with his brother, who is a soccer player, and played a significant role in influencing him to get into sports.

Growing up, his brother’s passion for sports greatly inspired Daljang to start his own basketball career.

Off the court, Daljang shared a loving and close-knit family, making him a family-oriented person.

His strong bond with his loved ones was a significant part of his life, and he cherished the time he spent with them.

Moreover, he was a loving son and brother and a valued teammate. His kindness and dedication extended beyond the basketball court, touching the lives of his family and friends.

Daljang’s Mother, Suzy, Shares A Close Bond With Her Children

Suzy Longar possibly raised her children as a single mother. Despite the struggles of being a single parent, she always supported her children’s dreams.

Daljang’s older brother, Manuer, is two years older than him and plays soccer for the Bethany Vikings.

Although Daljang himself was a private person, his brother frequently shared pictures from his personal life on his Facebook.

Additionally, his mother, Suzy also prefers to keep her personal life out of the public eye, as she has set both her Facebook and Instagram accounts to private.

Manuer particularly shared many pictures with his mother, Suzy. In 2019, he shared a picture with his mother, wishing her a happy birthday.

Furthermore, he has shared many family pictures with the whole family together, in the past years.

As the Wol family mourns the loss of Daljang, some of his relatives have kept their profile pictures as a candle, paying tribute to him.
