The family of Lee Crewe, who died on Tuesday 14 May, have paid tribute to him, describing him as ‘lovely, inside and out'.

Officers were called to Chepstow Road, Newport, on Tuesday 14 May after Lee was found unresponsive with serious injuries.

Paramedics from the Welsh Ambulance Service later confirmed that he had died; his family are receiving support from specialist officers.

Lee's family have now paid tribute to him, saying: "Lee was lovely, inside and out.

"He had an infectious personality that always lit up a room.

"We’ll always have an unbreakable bond and he’ll always be in our thoughts. Until we meet again our darling son."

A Newport man, 21, was arrested on suspicion of murder and remains in police custody at this time.

Officers aren't looking for anyone else in connection with his death and at this time they believe it to be an isolated incident, but police are in the area carrying out enquiries.

If you have any information, even if you think it is minor, officers say you should get in touch with Gwent Police.

Anyone who has dashcam footage, or CCTV, from Chepstow Road, or in the area around Merriott Place, between 4.45pm and 7pm are also urged to contact them.
