The man who was murdered in Burnham-On-Sea on Christmas Eve has been named locally as George Lawson – as tributes have flooded in from family and friends.
Scores of tributes have already been paid to the 20-year-old, pictured right, on the social networking website Facebook.
His sister leads the tributes, writing: “George, you were the best brother I could have asked for, and everything I do will be in your memory because I loved you so much.”
“It’s like hell without you. You always made my day happy and cheerful. I can’t describe what I’m feeling now. I know you’re still here with me, and I’m thinking about you every second. I love you so much.”
A friend adds: “R.I.P George, my thoughts are with your family at this devastating time – it’s a shock for everyone.”
Another friend adds: “R.I.P mate, never forgotten, but always remembered, thoughts and respect to you family.”
Another person adds: “I didnt know you, but have sons and daughters your age. So so sad, my thoughts are with your family and everyone who knew you.”
