Detectives investigating the death of 20-year-old Marley Gascoine have charged a suspect with his murder.
Police 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 despite the best efforts of first responders he died a short time later from a stab wound.
A team of detectives have been working around the clock while specially-trained family liaison officers support Mr Gascoine’s loved ones.
Matthew Smith, aged 20, of First Avenue, Carlton, Nottingham, has now been charged with murder and will appear at Nottingham Magistrates’ Court today (Saturday).
Another 20-year-old man, also arrested on suspicion of murder, has been released on bail.
Detective Chief Inspector Ruby Burrow, who is leading the investigation, 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 who ‘will always hold a special place in my heart’.
“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.”
