Tributes to 'much-loved' father who was the victim of fatal Leamington stabbing

Police were called shortly before 10.30pm on Thursday, May 28, to Lower Leam Street near the junction with Leam Terrace.

A man with serious injuries was found and, despite efforts to treat him at the scene, he later died in hospital.

A post-mortem has concluded an interim cause of death as a stab wound to the chest.

The man has now formally been identified as Carl Moorhouse from Coventry.

Today, June 8, his family paid tribute to him.

Carl’s partner, Bianca, said: “Carl was my first love, my best friend and my soulmate. He had just become a father for the first time and our lives were just beginning together. Nothing will ever fill this empty space that has been left and he will forever be in our hearts.”

Carl’s parents added: “Carl was a much-loved Son, father, brother, partner and uncle and was so tragically taken.

"Left behind are a heartbroken family.

"Sleep tight, we all love you.”

Carl’s family have asked for privacy during this difficult time.
