'Sorely missed by his entire family': Wolverhampton murder victim named as father of seven
Tributes have been paid to a Wolverhampton father of seven who died after being attacked in his home.
The family tributes came as police appealed to find the killers of 46-year-old Deavon Harrison, who was found with serious injuries at a house in Dunstall Hill at around 12.50pm on Saturday.
One person has been arrested on suspicion of murder and remains in custody for questioning.
On Tuesday, Mr Harrison's family released a picture of him as they paid tribute to the loving father.
His mother said: "He will be sorely missed by his entire family. Me, his stepdad, 13 siblings, seven children and one granddaughter.
"We are extremely devastated, shocked and deeply saddened at this tragic news. He was the first-born son of his family. We will love and cherish you always and forever."
Detective Inspector Michelle Cordell, leading the investigation, said: “Our thoughts are with Deavon’s family at this difficult and distressing time.
"Our investigation is progressing quickly, and we’ve been working tirelessly to identify what happened and why. Several lines of enquiry are ongoing, and we are putting all of our efforts into identifying those responsible.
"It’s vital that anyone who’s not already been in touch with us with information does so as soon as possible.
"I’d like to hear from anyone who was in the area at the time who saw anyone acting suspiciously, or who may have dashcam or CCTV footage, to call us straight away.
"That information could help us get justice for Deavon and his grieving family."
