Man fatally stabbed in St Ann's has been named
20-year-old Marley Gascoine died after being found critically injured on Monday
The victim of a fatal stabbing has been formally identified as 20-year-old Marley Gascoine.
Officers were called to Abbotsford Drive, St Ann’s, Nottingham, at approximately 12.50pm on Monday (10 November) after a man was found critically injured.
Mr Gascoine, from Nottingham, was treated by paramedics but despite their best attempts, he died a short time later.
A post mortem examination found he died from a single stab wound to the chest.
Paying tribute on behalf of family members, Mr Gascoine's mother said:
"We would like to thank everyone for their condolences at this excruciating, difficult time.
"Marley is my first born, and will always hold a special place in my heart.
"A fantastic Son and big Brother, Grandson and Nephew, we will all miss you tremendously.
"The pain we all feel is indescribable, and as a Mum there will forever be a piece of my heart missing.
"I've said a prayer to God to give you the peace you need, to wrap his loving arms around you, until we meet again. I love you."
Detectives are continuing to pursue several lines of inquiry and a 20-year-old man arrested on suspicion of murder remains in custody after officers were granted more time to question him.
Mr Gascoine’s family continue to be supported by specially trained officers as the investigation continues and have asked for privacy at this incredibly difficult time.
Detective Chief Inspector Ruby Burrow, who is leading the investigation, said:
“Our thoughts remain with Mr Gascoine’s family and friends and we will continue to support them throughout this investigation.
“Our extensive investigation is continuing, and we are making good progress with a team of highly skilled detectives working to establish exactly what has happened in order to ensure justice is delivered.
“Once again I’d like to reassure the community that we do believe this to be an isolated incident and there is no wider risk to the public.”
