Abdulkadar Chadli was found dead at a property in Mousehold Street in Norwich on 1 November

The family of a man who was fatally stabbed in the chest has described him as a "kind, caring and gentle guy".

Abdulkadar Chadli, 48, was found dead on Mousehold Street in Norwich at about 22:15 GMT on 1 November.

His family said: "It is so very very sad that such a kind, caring and gentle guy was taken so violently from his friends and family.

"I wish we could tell him how much we miss him and love him and how every day we wish we had appreciated the short time we got to spend with him."

Mr Chadli said they had to imagine, that this time, he was away on a much longer trip out at sea

In the joint statement, the family described how he spent long spells away from home, working at sea.

"Now we just must try to imagine that this trip will be a little bit longer, but we will see him again one day."

Elvis Vickers, 46, of Mousehold Street in Norwich, has been charged with murder and a provisional trial date has been fixed in March.

A 37-year-old man arrested in connection with the alleged stabbing has been released on bail pending further inquiries.
