Two men have been charged with the murder of a man found stabbed to death at a property in West Sussex.

Anthony Williams, 37, was killed at a property in Park Way, Horsham, on Tuesday. He was pronounced dead at the scene, Sussex Police said.

Nicholas Bridge, 18, from Loughborough Park, Brixton, London, and Daniel Omofeghare, 20, of no fixed abode, have been charged with murder.

Mr Williams' family have paid tribute to an "amazing father".

They said: "He always put others before himself and wanted to change the world for the better."

His memory, they added, would "always live on in his children".

Mr Omofeghare and Mr Bridge will appear at Brighton Magistrates Court.

Further inquiries

Two other men, both from Horsham, aged 50 and 36, were arrested on Friday on suspicion of aiding, abetting or assisting the offence.

They have been released under investigation, police said.

A 22-year-old woman of no fixed address, arrested on suspicion of assisting an offender, has been released on bail until 17 October pending further inquiries.

A 30-year-old man from Broadbridge Heath, arrested on suspicion of murder, has been released with no further action.

Det Ch Insp Emma Heater said: "Our thoughts are with the family of Anthony Williams who have lost a son, brother and dad."
