One man, aged 49, who was arrested on suspicion of murder shortly after Richard’s death on Thursday, April 7, has been bailed as enquiries continue.

Two further men aged 33 and 58, who were arrested on suspicion of murder on Friday, April 8 have now been released without charge.

Following his death, Richard’s parents paid tribute to their son, who they described as a ‘kind and loving father’.

They said: “Ricky had three main loves in his life; his gorgeous young son, Manchester United FC and cooking delicious food. He was a caring and loving father, skilled sportsman and a talented chef.”

"Ricky had a cheeky sense of humour and always enjoyed banter with friends and family.

“He had a very kind heart, especially when it came to children and people needing help. However, Ricky suffered from mental health problems and, sadly, his life - which started out with such promise - became increasingly chaotic and anxiety-driven.”
