TRIBUTE has been paid to a 30-year-old man who died after being attacked in Worcester.
Vijay Kumar was found by police officers with serious injuries on Barbourne Road on Tuesday November 25.
He was taken to hospital but died later that day.
In a statement his family said: “Vijay brought energy, joy and laughter and filled our lives with warmth. Life was never dull with him around. Even in hard times, his spirit was unbreakable – he lived with purpose, passion, and heart.
“Behind all his gestures was a heart that cared deeply for his family and friends. He didn’t always say it, but he showed it – in small gestures, shared glances, and unexpected kindness.
“Though his time with us was unbelievably short, it was filled with meaning. His tragic departure has left us devastated and has created a void in our lives.
“Saying goodbye to such a loving family member is one of life’s hardest things. We will miss Vijay deeply and carry his memory forward in the stories we tell and the love we share.”
Five men were arrested on suspicion of murder and are now on bail as the investigation continues.
