A man from Wolverhampton has been charged with the murder of his father-in-law.

William Connors, 27, was charged last night after 62-year-old Thomas Connors died from his injuries following an incident in Compton Road on 11 September.

William Connors will appear before magistrates in Coventry today (14 September).

Thomas Connors' family have paid tribute to him, saying: "He was a lovely man and a devoted husband, father and grandfather.

"He has been torn away from us far too soon and we have been left devastated.”

Police are continuing to appeal for any further information about what happened.

They're especially interested in any dashcam footage from drivers who might have been in the area.
