A DAD-OF-THREE has been named as a stabbing victim.

Robert David O’Raw, aged 50, died after a single stab wound to the chest at his home on Bruche Heath Gardens, Padgate on Sunday.

Police were called to the home following reports that a man had been stabbed.

He leaves behind three children, two sons and a daughter, as well as three brothers and two sisters.

His family said: “Robert was a loving and caring father who will be sadly missed by the whole family.”

The attack happened in a flat above the shops on the road.
