'Thoughtful' man died in Brighton stabbing

Tributes have been paid to a man described as "thoughtful and full of wonder", after his death at a property in the early hours of Sunday.

Sussex Police responded to reports that a fight had broken out in Regency Square, Brighton.

Two men were found in the property with serious knife injuries, police said.

Tio Day was pronounced dead at the scene, while the second man was taken to hospital to receive critical care and has since been discharged.

Tio is remembered by his family as "precious, curious, and full of love".

His cousin affectionately called him "Tia Tia" and said he "watched over her" and was "always gentle".

She said: "He loved deeply, especially his brothers, who will carry this loss in their hearts forever, and a big part of them will always be missing.

"I will always remember the Tio that we knew as thoughtful, loving, and full of wonder.

"Sleep tight big bro… I hope you've found peace. You will never be forgotten."

Tio's aunt also shared a tribute, saying: "My heart is full of 'what ifs' and 'whys' for such a beautiful young man.

"I will always remember your smile and your quiet, gentle nature. You will forever live in my heart.

"Sleep tight, my precious nephew. I know your mum has you now."

Members of the Brighton community have also paid tribute to Tio, describing him as "kind, intelligent, and warm, with a smile that touched everyone".

On 28 April, 26-year-old Daniel Bassett, of no fixed address, was charged with murder and attempted murder.

At Brighton Magistrates' Court on Wednesday, Bassett was remanded in custody.

He is next due to appear at Lewes Crown Court on 1 May.
