Police have charged a suspect in a fatal assault from the weekend and can today name the victim.
Harley Fox sustained serious injuries in a village pub beer garden, around 9.10pm on Sunday (8 June).
The 34-year-old was taken to hospital, following the incident outside the Market Inn, in Main Street, Huthwaite.
Another man was also assaulted at the same location.
Despite the best efforts of emergency services, Mr Fox was pronounced dead in hospital on Tuesday (10 June).
His family has now released a tribute, which read:
“Harley was absolutely devoted to his family and there are no words that can even begin to express the devastation felt by everyone who knew him.
“He is loved by so many, had the biggest heart and was always the first person to help anyone in need.
“He was so full of life and lived it to the max. Motorbikes, boats, go-karts – in fact engines of any kind – and he was happy.
“Harley, we love you so much. Fly high until we meet again.”
Suspect Dilon Price, 30, has been charged with manslaughter and assault occasioning actual bodily harm.
Price, of Back Lane, Sutton-in-Ashfield, appeared before Nottingham Magistrates’ Court earlier today (13 June).
He has been remanded into custody ahead of his next appearance at Nottingham Crown Court on 11 July.
Detective Chief Inspector Ruby Burrow, of Nottinghamshire Police, said:
“Our thoughts remain with Mr Fox’s family and friends at this incredibly difficult time.
“Specially trained officers have been supporting them over the last few days and this support will remain in place.
“We are now able to announce that a charge has been made, so would like to thank everyone who has come forward to assist our investigation so far.”
