Tributes have been paid to a man who died after being found with multiple serious injuries.
Mark Richmond, 47, was discovered at a property in Newland Street, Rugby, on Thursday and died later in hospital.
Matthew Naysmith, 18, from Newland Street, was charged with his murder and appeared at Warwick Crown Court earlier. He is due back in court on 8 October.
Mr Richmond's father, Charles, said he had a "strong character".
"We had a good relationship, which was maintained over the years by weekly conversations on the phone," he said.
"I am distraught he will no longer be a part of my life and I will miss talking to him greatly."
