A 50-year-old has been charged with murder following the death of a man who was found on a rooftop garden in Bristol.
Anthony Clemmings, 54, was discovered by a member of the public on Redcliff Street on the morning on Tuesday 5 May. His family are being supported by specially trained officers, Avon and Somerset Police have said.
Mr Clemmings, known as Tony, was described as a ‘much-loved son, brother and uncle’, by his family.
Nigel Lubban, of no fixed abode, was arrested in the West Midlands on Friday 8 May and has since been charged with murder.
The body of Tony Clemmings was discovered on Redcliff Street.
He has been remanded in custody ahead of an appearance at Bristol Magistrates’ Court tomorrow, 11 May.
Detective Chief Inspector Laura Miller, of the Major Crime Investigation Team, said: “The Crown Prosecution Service has authorised a murder charge against Nigel Lubban.
“Specially trained officers are supporting the family who have been informed of this significant development as part of our investigation.
“This is an incredibly upsetting time for the family, and our thoughts remain with them, and they continue to ask for privacy, and we would therefore ask people to be respectful of those wishes.”
