The daughter of a man killed in Pitsea last week has described him as "kind-hearted, loving and gentle".

James Robinson, who was 67 and also known as Jimbo, was assaulted in the Malyons Mews area on Wednesday 15th September.

He was taken to hospital with a serious head injury but died the following day.

A post-mortem examination found he died as a result of traumatic head injury.

His daughter said: "He was such a kind-hearted loving gentle dad, grandad, brother and friend to many.

“He will be truly missed and always in our hearts.

“Gone too soon but never forgotten.”

Edward Roberts, who's 47 and from St Mary's Crescent, has been charged with his murder.
