A MAN has been charged with murder after a 45-year-old was found with stab wounds.
Police revealed "loving father" Andrew Owen was found with knife wounds to his neck and abdomen after officers responded to reports of a disturbance at a Bewdley home.
Mr Owen's family has paid tribute to the "devoted son, father, nephew, cousin and friend who was loved by many".
In a statement, they said: "Family meant such a lot to him and he was a loving and proud father.
"He was so kind-hearted and would go out of his way for anyone and everyone.
"Known as a hard worker, he was a very keen fisherman and loved to spend his spare time fishing.
"His loss leaves a huge gap in our lives and he will be dearly missed."
Police found Mr Owen in Cherry Close in Bewdley, Worcestershire, on Sunday, September 17.
Shaun Dewey, 30, of Cherry Close, Bewdley, has been charged with murder and will appear at Redditch Magistrates' Court on Wednesday.
He was also charged with causing grievous bodily harm to a 53-year-old man in connection with the same incident.
