A community fundraiser's been launched by friends of Salisbury stabbing victim Tsvetomir Genov - to help towards funeral costs.
20 year old TG, as he was known, died on August 22nd, in an incident on Gainsborough Close in Bemerton Heath.
The GoFundMe page, set up at the weekend, has a £10,000 target and has already had over £3,200 donated by nearly 190 people.
The money raised will go to Tsvetomir's family for his funeral and transportation to Bulgaria, where his family is originally from.
In a statement released following his death, TG's relatives said:
“We lost our first-born amazing son TG suddenly and it is a really hard time for our family. He is a brother to two boys and also a father to a little boy.
“We still don’t want to believe he is not here anymore and he will never be back and we will never see his smile again, will not hear his voice, his little boy will have to grow up without his father….It is hard and painful, sad and heart breaking.
“He will stay forever 20 as someone took him from us in such a cruel and horrible way.
“A man has been charged with his murder but it won’t bring TG back. The thought that we have to live without him now is hard. No one should have to go through this."
25 year old Maurice Jones, from Gainsborough Close, has been charged with murder and remanded in custody.
A provisional trial date has been set for February next year.
