Mr Hague, 38, was pronounced dead at the scene after suffering a stab wound.

A post-mortem examination will take place in due course.

In a tribute, his mother said: “His smile was amazing - he was loving, funny, giving of his time and loved being Uncle Jack to his niece and two nephews best of all.

“He is my son, my blue-eyed boy and will live in me until the day I die.”
