A man has been charged with murdering a 15 year old boy in Skelmersdale.
Dylan Bragger was found at around 9 o clock on Thursday night on Digmoor Road - he sadly died at the scene.
28 year old Felipe Figueiredo, of Birleywood, Skelmersdale is due to appear at Preston Magistrates’ Court today.
In a tribute to Dylan his family said:
“Our boy had a heart of gold, he was a gentle giant and was loved by so many. As a family we have no words to explain how we are feeling at this heart-breaking time.
“Dylan had such an infectious smile that would light up any room and he could cheer anyone up with one of his big bear hugs. Our boy didn’t deserve any of this, he was just a 15-year-old lad working towards being a car mechanic, with his whole life ahead of him. We’ve got a hole in our heart that will never heal and no amount of words will ever take our pain away.
“We love you always and forever. Fly high with our other angels DJ, all our love Mum, Dad, Nan, Meg, Moll, Shania, V, Lucas and Joel.
“We’d also like to express our thanks to everyone for all of their kind words and gestures, they haven’t gone unnoticed.”
