Tributes poured in on the Warrington Guardian Facebook page when news broke yesterday that police were treating the death as murder.

Karen Wernham wrote: 'May you rest in peace Mark, thoughts to his family and other friends, cannot believe it, such a lovely fun person'.

Claire Nicholls added: 'RIP Mark only talking to you the other day, such sad sad news for all the family, going to miss you and Barney xxx.'

Gill Horne wrote: 'Lovely guy knew him for years as a very good family friend xx RIP Mark goodnight and god bless'.

Kerry Louise Gerrard said: 'Rest in Peace Mark, H. Your love of life and those around you will forever be remembered and treasured. You brought happiness and smiles to so many'.

An online portal has been set up specially for this investigation where people can anonymously provide police with information - Cheshire Police say it is very important that people use it as it is 'very useful' for officers working on the case.
