Three people have been charged with murder after a man’s body was discovered in a wheelie bin, police have said.
Thomas Niven, 37, was found dead in the bin in Cash’s Park, Coventry, last Friday.
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.
All three suspects, who are from Coventry, have been remanded in custody and are due to appear before Coventry Magistrates’ Court on Thursday morning.
In a statement previously released through police, Mr Niven’s family said they were “in shock and are devastated” at his death.
They added: “He was a pillar of strength towards us all.”
“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.”
