Family pay tribute to young dad murdered in Wisbech
He was stabbed in the town in the early hours of Tuesday morning
The family of a man in his 20s who was murdered in Wisbech this week have paid tribute to the 'funny and kind' dad.
Tom Lewis, 23, of Larksfield in Wisbech, was airlifted to Addenbrooke’s Hospital in Cambridge from Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Kings Lynn on Tuesday (8 September) to undergo surgery to his leg.
He was placed on life-support in intensive care but was pronounced dead yesterday afternoon, 10 September, after a decision was made to end his life-support treatment.
His family said:
“Our life with our son Tommy ended yesterday because of an act of violence. He was only 23 years old, and he was a much-loved son. Our hearts are broken.
"He will be forever missed."
“Tommy was also a father, brother, grandson and uncle and loved by all who knew him. He was funny, kind and would help anyone, he was also a loyal friend. He will be forever missed.”
Three men, aged 22 and two aged 32, who were arrested in connection with Tom’s death remain in custody. A fourth man, aged 18, was arrested in Milton Keynes last night, also in connection with the murder.
