A man has appeared in court charged with the murder of William Bush who was discovered with fatal injuries in a car park next to Llandaff Cathedral in Cardiff, on Chapel Street, at around 11.30am on Sunday, December 24.
Police launched an investigation and suspect Dylan Thomas, 23, from Llandaff, appeared at Cardiff Magistrates Court this morning, charged with murder, and has been remanded in custody.
In a statement, William’s devastated family said: ‘This week our beloved Will was taken away from us in such a cruel and indescribable way. Will was such a loyal, funny and caring son, brother and boyfriend.’.
‘We are absolutely devastated and as a family request that our privacy is respected at this difficult time.’
Thomas is now due to appear at Cardiff Crown Court on January 2.
Yesterday, officers sealed off the car park crowded with vehicles – some loaded with presents and food – in the murder probe, while armed police were spotted on nearby Chapel Street at 11.30am on Sunday.
The cordon remained in place on Boxing Day while a significant police presence is still at the scene including forensics teams.
Flowers were left on the pavement outside of the cordon in tribute to the man who has died just off the busy high street.
Many people had left cars in the cordon prior to the tragic Christmas Eve killed and have been unable to pass the cordon.
