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.

“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.

Anyone with any information is urged to police by calling 101, quoting investigation reference 35/60797/20.
