The family of Webb have released this statement: “To try to compress a life into short sentences does not do anybody justice. This is by far the hardest of them all.
"Wallis was a Councillor for a short period of time, because he really believed in trying to help others and felt strongly about the hardships people now have to endure without the help so many need.
"This is yet another life taken in a shocking and senseless manner.”
