Barnaby Webber’s family slam ‘senseless murder’ 

The heartbroken family of one of the victims of the Nottingham attack has slammed his “senseless murder”.

Barnaby’s devastated parents have now paid tribute to him.

David and Emma Webber, and younger brother Charlie, said their boy was “at the start of his journey into adulthood and was developing into a wonderful young man”.

They described their “complete devastation” at the “senseless murder of our son”.

They said: “Complete devastation is not enough to describe our pain and loss at the senseless murder of our son.

“Barnaby Philip John Webber was a beautiful, brilliant, bright young man, with everything in life to look forward to.

“A talented and passionate cricketer, who was over the moon to have made selection to his university cricket team.

“At 19 he was just at the start of his journey into adulthood and was developing into a wonderful young man.

“As parents we are enormously proud of everything he achieved and all the plans he had made.

“His brother is bereft beyond belief, and at this time we ask for privacy as a family to be allowed time to process and grieve.

“We will not be making any further statements, particularly in relation to the police investigation.

“We are so proud to release these photographs, chosen by us as a family, of an amazing son, brother, grandson, nephew and friend.

“Thank you for your understanding, and to everyone who has supported us in this awful journey so far.”
