    The family of Reuben Morris-Laing released a statement over the weekend in tribute to the 21-year-old.

    Reuben was a caring, family orientated man who was always in high spirits. He was polite and nice to everyone he came into contact with. Reuben was also a hardworking role model who had high ambitions. He had chosen his vocation as a carpenter which was influenced by his father. We are all devastated by what has happened and life won't be the same without him."
