THE FAMILY of a man who died in Kenilworth last month has thanked the community for their support.
Police were called to a house on Chestnut Avenue just before midnight on Friday (March 20) after concerns were raised for the welfare of a man.
The man – Carl Stephens – had died.
Paying tribute to the 45-year-old, his family said: “We are deeply saddened to be writing that Carl’s life has been taken in the most tragic way. Our family is completely devastated by this and will be forever heartbroken.
“We would like to take a moment to sincerely thank our community for the love, compassion and support that has been shown to us, and sharing in our grief, it means more than words can express.
“During this incredibly difficult time, we kindly ask for privacy while we come to terms with what has happened.”
Three people – a 24-year-old man, a 49-year-old woman and a 16-year-old boy – have been charged in connection with his death. They will next appear in court on May 20.
A 72-year-old woman arrested on suspicion of assisting an offender has been bailed while enquiries continue.
