THE FAMILY of a man thought to have been murdered in Reading last week have released a tribute.

On Wednesday, December 1, police were called to an address in Elgar Road just after 8.10pm.

It was there they found the body of a man in his 70s. He has now been named as David Allen.

The family of Mr Allen have released a tribute to the 77-year-old.

It reads: “Our Dad, Grandad, Brother and Hero was tragically taken away from us too soon.

“Those we love don’t go away. They walk beside us everyday, unseen, unheard, but always near, still loved, still missed and very dear.
