Detectives from Leicestershire Constabulary and the Bedfordshire and Hertfordshire Major Crime Unit, who have been investigating the murder of a man, can today (April 23) confirm his identity as 49-year-old Jeffrey Howe from Southgate.

His family have asked for the following tribute to be released:

His Brother said: "Jeffrey was an extremely caring son.  He was a jovial, charming character who had a heart of gold and would get on with anyone.  He could be a little selfish sometimes but did what he thought was best."

Jeffrey was a life long Manchester United fan.   Most recently Jeffrey had been working as a salesman for a kitchen firm, prior to that he had lived in various locations across the country.  He also lived in Italy for a time where he worked as a cook.

Jeffrey's brother added: "Although we didn't have a great deal of contact and we hadn't seen each other for a few months, as you can imagine our family has been left extremely traumatised by what has happened.  We are finding it extremely hard to come to terms with what has happened and we ask to be left alone at this time."
