The 31-year-old builder died from fatal stab wounds on Tuesday 27 December near Clarendon Park.

His mother Nicola, along with other family members, said: “You were a devoted Dad, super talented builder and could turn your hand to anything, you loved nothing more than sending us a million and one photos of the job from start to finish and always said ‘I’m ace me aren’t a,’ we were always so proud.

“We will always remember the good times, your huge cheeky smile and your great sense of humour. Taz, I’m so sorry this has happened to you, my heart is aching so much, you will be missed deeply.
