The mother of a man who was fatally stabbed in their home said today that his death has “broken” the family.
Jordan MaGuire, 20, who was killed on May 26 in Thrales Close, had just been on holiday to Benidorm and was about to go to Yorkshire to work fitting aeroplane parts.
His mother, Julie MaGuire, 46, said he was well-known and well-loved.
She said: “Everybody loved Jordan, everybody knew him, he was always smiling. He was so loved and if he was in your life then your life was blessed.
“We are a close family and also he had lots of friends who have been very supportive to me, we have lived here for ten years and I suppose I’m like a second mum to them too. He had so very many friends, they were like brothers and their lives are empty too, just as much as mine is.”
Jordan leaves behind two sisters Zoe, 27, and Kay, 28, and his girlfriend of three years, Laura.
His mother said he loved clothes and going shopping and had hundreds of pairs of trainers. He took care over his appearance although he was quite a humble person.
Julie said: “What’s happened has killed us, it’s killed the community, there is no laughter any more. It’s broken us. He was the only man in my life and I loved him to the sky and back. But I don’t want people to mourn him, I want people to celebrate his life.”
Two people have been arrested in connection with the murder and have been released on police bail with no charge.
Detectives released two clips from the CCTV cameras on the estate showing a third and fourth suspect they would like to question.
Both men are black, one is dressed in jeans and a dark top, pushing a light coloured bike.
Anyone who has information about Jordan’s murder should contact Major Crime Unit Officers on the police non-emergency number 101, or via Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555111.
