Willenhall stab death: Tributes paid to 'much loved brother'
The family of a Willenhall man who died of stab wounds, has paid tribute to him.
Glyn Evans, aged 56, has been described as a much loved brother.
His body was discovered at an address in Walsall Road, Willenhall, at around 8.30pm last Monday.
Two people, Stella Downing, aged 37 of no fixed address and Martin Stokes, aged 49, from St Giles Road, Willenhall have been charged with his murder and are remanded into custody.
West Midlands Police Detective Inspector Jim Munro said: "The body was discovered at 8.30pm following a call from a member of the public but we believe the man may have been dead for several hours.
"We've already spoken to many residents in Walsall Street but if anyone was in the area on Monday evening, and have not yet spoken to police, then I'd ask them to call me as soon as possible.
"It may be they saw or heard something suspicious, perhaps a disturbance or people leaving the scene, that could be important to the investigation."
Willenhall South Councillor Carl Creaney said: "It's a tragedy. It's a good friend of mine I've known for a long long time, well over 20 odd years. What's happened to him shouldn't have happened to him.
"My heart goes out to his ex-wife and his children. It's dreadful news."
Friend Karl Bond added: "Glynn was a great bloke. He had his troubles like we all do, but his heart was in the right place.
"He would always help others where he could and he will be dearly missed by many.
"He was never short of friends to help him out in his times of need. I personally gave him a roof a few times and bags of clothes and money when he was hungry.
"It's a sad loss to our community."
Anyone with information is asked to contact West Midlands Police Homicide Team at force CID on 101.
