Tributes paid to talented sportspeople killed in Nottingham attacks

Tributes have been paid to two talented sportspeople who were stabbed to death during a deadly rampage in Nottingham. The family of 19-year-old cricketer Barnaby Webber said "complete devastation is not enough to describe our pain" - labelling his death as "senseless".

Nottinghamshire Police said a 31-year-old man was tasered and arrested on suspicion of murder after Mr Webber and fellow University of Nottingham student Grace Kumar were stabbed to death in Ilkeston Road at about 4am on Tuesday. A man in his 50s was then found fatally knifed in Magdala Road before the suspect is believed to have stolen his van and driven at pedestrians in Milton Street.

Three people were injured in the van attack, with one in a critical condition in hospital and two suffering minor injuries. England Hockey said they were "deeply saddened" at the news of Ms Kumar's death.
