A MAN has allegedly been stabbed to death, with his family paying tribute – and two men have been charged with his murder.

Christopher Bradbury, from Stoke-on-Trent, was “loved so much”, the heart-breaking statement said.

Staffordshire cops were called at 7.40pm last Thursday to Ridgway Road in Shelton following reports that a man had been stabbed.

Sadly, the 44-year-old died at the scene.

Paying tribute to him, his family said: “He was loved so much by his mum and partner, brother and sister.

“He will be sadly missed by his father and partner.”

Detective Chief Inspector Ian Fitzgerald, of our major investigations department, said: “Our investigation is continuing and legal proceedings are now active so I would remind people not to speculate about the circumstances of the incident on social media platforms.”

He added: “Our thoughts remain with Christopher’s family and friends and our investigation is continuing.”

Subhan Nadeem, 20, and Dhannish Mahmood, 19, both British Asian and from Shelton, have been charged with murder.
