Two men have been arrested on suspicion of murder as detectives investigating the death of Wayne Solomon continue their enquiries.

At around 10:54pm on Wednesday (Jun 24), police responded to reports of an injured man in Doncaster.

When officers attended the scene on Galsworthy Close, 55-year-old Wayne Solomon was found with serious injuries.

Wayne was taken to hospital where he died from his injuries.

Wayne’s family has paid tribute to the “unforgettable” 55-year-old.

“His kindness, warmth and sense of humour made him unforgettable, and he will remain in our hearts forever."

Following the death of Wayne, detectives arrested a 46-year-old man on suspicion of murder, possession of an offensive weapon, dangerous driving and robbery.
