Sponsored Walk To Help Family Of Littlehampton Man Killed In Street

Friends of Paul Lawrence, who was found dead at the scene of an incident in Littlehampton on Sunday, January 28, will be doing a sponsored walk to raise funds for his family.

Paul, 51, was found in Gladonian Road at around 6am last Sunday.

The same day, a 16-year-old boy from Littlehampton was arrested on suspicion of murder.

Police say he has since been released on bail with strict conditions, including a curfew, until March 14 as enquiries continue.

Following tributes paid to "a much-loved son, brother, father and grandfather," friends and colleagues from Storrington-based plumbing and heating company, Stocker & Sons LTD where Paul worked, have organised a sponsored walk from Brighton Pier all the way to Littehampton Trades and Labour club (Paul’s local pub).

Colleague Jack Stocker, said:

"We are all shocked and saddened by this news as he was a brilliant man and a brilliant friend to us all, loved by many and this news came as a shock to everyone who knew him."

The over 20-mile walk will take place on Saturday, February 10, with all monies raised going towards helping Paul’s family with funeral costs. 

So far £4,380 has been raised, which Stocker says is "well appreciated by those involved" and will help in "getting this great man the fantastic send off that he deserves."
