THE FAMILY of a man who was fatally stabbed in Hertfordshire this week has paid tribute to a ‘devoted son, brother, uncle and loving father’.
David Molloy, 24, from Hemel Hempstead was stabbed in the early hours of Tuesday, March 13, in Saturn Way in the town.
The father-of-one, who would have turned 25 next week, was treated by paramedics but was sadly pronounced dead at the scene.
