Mr Morse's family said: "Our family cannot describe what losing our Neri has done to us. Only God will know how much this is breaking our hearts.

"Our brother was the baby of the family and definitely Mum's favourite," they added.

"He was the most amazing and loving father to his four-month-old son Nakari and showed him the most amount of love in the short time they had together.

"We will always be immensely proud of how he took to daddy duties."

Police are appealing for anyone with information to contact them.
