Three people have been charged with murder after a man’s body was discovered in a wheelie bin, police have said.<\/p>\n
Thomas Niven, 37, was found dead in the bin in Cash’s Park, Coventry, last Friday.<\/p>\n
On Wednesday evening, West Midlands Police said Tammy Sturdy, 45, Camron Sturdy, 21, and Shane Turkington, 37, had all been charged with murder following Mr Niven’s death.<\/p>\n
All three suspects, who are from Coventry, have been remanded in custody and are due to appear before Coventry Magistrates’ Court on Thursday morning.<\/p>\n
In a statement previously released through police, Mr Niven’s family said they were “in shock and are devastated” at his death.<\/p>\n
They added: “He was a pillar of strength towards us all.”<\/p>\n
“He was loving and caring, he loved all of his family, he was a big softy when it came to animals and his nephews and nieces.”<\/p>\n
