Tributes paid to young dad killed in Smith's Wood stabbing

TRIBUTES: Flowers and tributes placed in Arran Way, Smith's Wood

A MAN stabbed to death in Smith's Wood last week has been named as father-of-one Leneto Kellengbeck.
Tributes have flooded in for the 24-year-old, who suffered multiple stab wounds late on Friday night (March 29).

Mr Kellengbeck, known as Lenny, leaves behind a two-year-old daughter.
Paying tribute to her son, his mother Jasmine described him as "kind and thoughtful."
In a statement issued through Solihull Police, she said: "The news of my son’s demise came like a thief in the night.
"So sudden and unexpected, it gave me no chance to react or do anything in my powers to prevent it from happening.
"Suddenly, my world has been turned upside down since my precious son became another victim of this dreaded knife crime."
Police had been called to Arran Way at around 11.15pm and found Mr Kellengbeck, who had suffered fatal injuries. He died a short time later.
A post-mortem, carried out over the weekend, revealed that he had died of multiple stab wounds.
No arrests have been made, but officers are continuing to comb through the area's CCTV footage and speak to possible witnesses.

Det Insp Jim Colclough, from the force's homicide unit, said: "This is a desperately sad time for Mr Kellengbeck’s family, and we have specially trained officers in place to support them.

"We are still trying to establish exactly what happened, and need anyone who saw what happened, or who believes they might have information that could help us, to speak to us.
"The smallest bit of information could help, so please do get in touch."
Tributes have also been paid by friends and wellwishers on social media. It is understood that the victim was a talented boxer.
Following his death, a webpage was set up to raise money for his daughter and family.
By teatime today (Wednesday), more than £5,500 had been pledged in donations.
