The family of Swindon man Neil Bambrick have paid tribute to him after a man was found guilty of his murder.

They issued a moving tribute via Wiltshire Police after Vincent Sparkes, 44, of Station Road, Swindon, was found guilty of the murder of Mr Bambrick, 41, and sentenced to life imprisonment with a minimum term of 17-and-a-half years.

The family said: “We would like to say we are so happy we got the outcome that we wanted.

“Justice has been served.

“Neil was sadly stolen away from us through knife crime – it's left a big hole in our hearts.

“If you knew Neil, he was such a happy, friendly, loving character who would do anything for anyone.

“Nothing was a problem, if he could help you he would.

“May you rest in peace Bambo.

“All the family miss you so much, you’ll never be forgotten. Love all your family xx.”
