The boy, who racially abused Mr Kohli before slapping him in the face with a slider shoe, was sentenced to seven years in custody at Leicester Crown Court on Thursday.
Scams followed. State officials say in 2017 fraudsters posing as Keyi descendants duped locals into handing over money, promising a share of the compensation.Today, the case remains unresolved.
Some descendants propose the best way to end the dispute would be to ask the Saudi government to use the compensation money to build another guest house for Hajj pilgrims, as Myankutti Keyi had intended.But others reject this, arguing that the guest house was privately owned, and so any compensation rightfully belongs to the family.Some argue that even if the family proves lineage to Mayankutty Keyi, without ownership documents, they're unlikely to gain anything.
For Muhammed Shihad, a Kannur resident who has co-authored a book on the history of the Keyi and Arakkal families, though, the dispute is not just about the money - but about honouring the family's roots."If they don't get the compensation, it would be worth openly recognising the family's and the region's connection to this noble act."
Mark Carney has invited his Indian counterpart Narendra Modi to the upcoming G7 summit in Alberta, marking a shift in Canada-India relations that had soured in recent years.
The two spoke over the phone on Friday, during which the Canadian prime minister extended the invite to Modi and agreed to stay in contact, according to a readout released by Carney's office.But if he becomes "Sir David", the ceremony won't be the first time he'll have met the royals. There is already a close relationship.
At the recent Chelsea Flower Show, a conversation between the King and Queen and Beckham seemed to hint at birthday gifts being exchanged."Nice to see you again, glad you got the roses," Queen Camilla seemed to be saying about this flowering relationship.
It's not just roses he's cultivating, as David Beckham has some new shared passions with the royals, a long way from his days as a footballer.He swapped "bee-keeping tips" with King Charles at a meeting at his Highgrove Estate in Gloucestershire last year.
