Avon and Somerset Police have charged a man with murder following an incident in Oakhill last week in which a 52-year-old man died.

Officers had been called to a property in The Old Maltings at just after noon on Thursday October 8.

The victim has been formally identified as Stuart Noble, who also used the name Stuart Hopkin. A forensic post mortem examination concluded he died from multiple stab wounds.

Peter Weldon, aged 69, of The Old Maltings, Oakhill, was charged with murder in the early hours of this morning (Wednesday October 14) and remanded in custody. He is due to appear before North Somerset Magistrates' Court this morning.

The family of Stuart Noble have issued a tribute to him and said: "We as a family are truly heart broken and shocked beyond words that Stuart's life has been taken away so tragically.

"Stuart will leave a gap in our family but will remain in our hearts forever."
