Mr Singh regularly attended his local Sikh temple and was described as a 'devout' man.
Ravindra Singh, 34, who volunteers at the National Sikh Heritage Centre and Holocaust museum in Derby, said: 'Sukhjit had been coming to the temple every Sunday for the past eight months.
'The community is of course very sad to hear of someone close to us being murdered in such a way.
'Sukhjit was an active member of the community and volunteered with us at times.'
