Hemwand Ali Hussain, 30, was a skilled Kurdish sniper, according to his family and fellow soldiers. He was killed in Hartlepool, a town in the northeast England. British police sent an email to his brother saying that Hamawand is killed, according to his family.

One man was arrested in relation to the murder and the case remains under investigation, according to local media.

Hemwand was born in the Soran district in the Kurdistan Region in 1989. He immigrated to the UK in 2005 and married a British woman.

"He was a genius and an active Peshmerga," Brig. Gen. Musa Gardi told Rudaw. "Believe me, there were only a few like Hemwand."

Hemwand is the father of two young boys named Adam and Jalal. His body is still in the UK while the investigation takes place.
