A man whose death sparked a murder investigation in Syston has been named as 49-year-old Simon Geary 🖤

In a statement, Mr Geary’s family said: “Simon was a much-loved son and brother.

"The support he has given our family will never be forgotten.

"He was a kind caring soul who served his country in the Army and we are so proud of what he achieved in his career.

“We would ask the public to please respect our privacy at this very difficult time.”

The force said that a 49-year-old man - who has been arrested on suspicion of murder - remains in custody.
