A post-mortem examination has found Mr Grayson died as a result of stab wounds.

Grayson was charged with murder yesterday and remanded into custody to appear before Sheffield Magistrate's Court this morning. 

Detective Inspector Simon Palmer, the senior investigating officer, said: 'Mr Grayson's family are being supported by specialist officers during this incredibly difficult time and have asked that their privacy is respected. 

'I fully appreciate that Mr Grayson's death is highly emotive but I would urge people to think about comments they make on social media and the impact it could have on the family.

'I'd also like to ask that people refrain from posting speculations, to enable criminal proceedings to progress through the courts unhindered and to allow the family time to grieve.'
