The family of 19-year-old university student Barnaby Webber have described their “complete devastation” at his death in the Nottingham attacks.

Paying tribute to him they condemned the “senseless murder of our son”, describing him as a “beautiful, brilliant, bright young man, with everything in life to look forward to”.

Mr Webber and a female friend, named locally as Grace Kumar, had been returning to their student accommodation following an end-of-term night out when they were killed in Ilkeston Road, in an apparently random attack, just after 4am on Tuesday.
