Salman was much more religious and did not approve of the friend, considering him a bad influence on his brother.
After Salman and Hashem returned from a trip to Saudi Arabia together to attend the hajj pilgrimage in October, he had changed.
On a visit to Manchester in January, Hashem was more into Islam and what not and he just changed , the friend said. [He was] very, very devout, very religious. He would text me to remind me to pray. He said that my life wasn t very well and I should change. That s what he was trying to get me to do.
