“Enquiries remain ongoing and any information should be reported to police.”

Callum’s mum, Tracy Marsland, said in a tribute after his death: “Callum was a strong and caring young man, loved so deeply by his family, friends and his girlfriend.

"His love for his mother and his brothers was immeasurable. A lovely lad, with a good heart, protective of his family and always the best of intentions. Stolen away from us far too young in life. He will be forever missed, and remembered with love. Life will never be the same again.”

A bleed control kit and memorial plaque were recently installed in Darnhill in Callum’s memory.
