The family of Vijay Kumar has issued an emotional tribute following the 30-year-old’s tragic death after being discovered with critical injuries on Barbourne Road in Worcester. The incident occurred during the early hours of November 25th at approximately 04:15 GMT, with police confirming five individuals have been arrested on suspicion of murder and subsequently released on bail as investigations proceed.
In a moving statement, Kumar’s relatives painted a portrait of a man who embodied “purpose, passion and heart” in his daily life. They described how he consistently “brought energy, joy and laughter” to those around him, creating an atmosphere where “life was never dull with him around.”
The family emphasized Kumar’s resilient character, noting that “even in hard times, his spirit was unbreakable” and highlighting his profound care for loved ones through “small gestures, shared glances and unexpected kindness” rather than mere words. They expressed the profound impact of their loss, stating his “tragic departure has left us devastated and has created a void in our lives” despite his “unbelievably short” time with them.
West Mercia Police detectives continue to investigate the circumstances surrounding the attack and have appealed to the public for any information that might assist their inquiry. The family concluded their tribute by vowing to honor Kumar’s memory, acknowledging they would miss him “deeply and carry his memory forward” through the difficult days ahead.
