A 30-year-old Cambridge man has been charged with the murder of a father of eight.

Emergency services were called to Chesterton Road in the city just before 1am on Tuesday (25 February).

Granville Graham, 58, from Chesterton Road, was pronounced dead at the scene at 1.18am.

Today (Wednesday, 26 February), detectives have charged Liam Rush, 30, of Chesterton Road, Cambridge, with murder.

He is due to appear at Huntingdon Magistrates’ Court on Thursday and a post mortem examination is due to take place on Monday.

Earlier today, Mr Graham’s family paid tribute to him.

They said: “Granville, talented barber and singer, was a special soul with an infectious, happy-go-lucky spirit that brightened the lives of everyone around him.

“Known for his incredible sense of humour, he could effortlessly make others laugh. His selflessness and willingness to help anyone in need made him a true source of support for many.

“He leaves behind nine sisters, one brother, eight children, one grandchild and countless family and friends who loved him dearly. His passing has left a hole in our hearts and the hearts of communities in Cambridge, London and Jamaica.”
