Police investigating the death of 20-year-old Marley Gascoine have charged a man with his murder.
Officers were called to Abbotsford Drive, St Ann’s, Nottingham, around 12.50pm on Monday 10 November after the victim was found seriously injured.
Mr Gascoine, from Nottingham, was treated at the scene but died a short time later from a stab wound.
Matthew Smith, aged 20, of First Avenue, Carlton, Nottingham, has now been charged with murder and will appear at Nottingham Magistrates’ Court today.
Another 20-year-old man, also arrested on suspicion of murder, has been released on bail.
Detective Chief Inspector Ruby Burrow, from Nottinghamshire Police, said:
“Mr Gascoine’s family have been informed of this important development.
“Officers will continue to support the family and the thoughts of the investigative team remain with them.
“I hope the wider community in St Ann’s are comforted by our response which has seen this suspect arrested, charged and placed before the courts.”
Mr Gascoine's mother has paid tribute to her first-born child. In a statement, she said:
"A fantastic Son and big Brother, Grandson and Nephew, we will all miss you tremendously,” she said.
"The pain we all feel is indescribable, and as a Mum there will forever be a piece of my heart missing.”
