Ashley Sarsero would "light up a room", his family said

Mr Sarsero's family said in a tribute earlier this week that he was a "beautiful precious boy who would light up a room".

"Tragically taken away from us, Ashley will be greatly missed," they said.

They described him as the "much-loved brother of Emily, Rosie, Zach, Liam and partner of Jade" and "devoted son of Claire and Wayne".
