His mother today released this photograph of him on holiday but was too upset to talk to the Express & Star.

Mr Chipchase's body was discovered with multiple injuries outside his house at 10am.

Paul Timmins, also of Lodge Road, appeared at West Bromwich Magistrates Court on Tuesday charged with murder.

The 27-year-old sat with his head in his hands throughout the hearing.

He spoke only to confirm his name and address.
