A 23-YEAR-OLD man from Ilkeston has been charged with murder after the death of a man on Thursday.
Santino Giovanni Genovese, of Charlotte Street, Ilkeston, will appear at South Derbyshire Magistrates' Court on Saturday charged with one count of murder and one count of attempted murder.
Paul Averill, 30, was pronounced dead at the scene and another man remains in hospital in a serious but stable condition.
Two men were found with serious head injuries at a house in Charlotte Street at about 5.40am on Thursday.
Social media was flooded with tributes to 30-year-old Mr Averill with a Facebook page called R.I.P Paul J Averill set up in his memory.
Benjamin Michael Houlding said he had fond memories of his friend.
He said: "Paul, you were my friend and helped during the darkest moment in my life.
"You helped me and never asked for anything in return, and for that I will never forget you my friend.
"This has just come as such a huge shock and my thoughts are with your family now, especially little Millie. Why the lord works in such dark and mysterious ways, I will never know but you will always have a warm place in the hearts of the people you touched along the way. Sleep well pal, I'll never forget you."
Clair Hyden said: "It has not sunk in yet that we are not going to see you again. I am going to miss you tinkering with cars with Wayne and having a laugh with your random sense of humour. Rest in peace Paul, you're going to be missed."
Sarah Newton said: "Rest in peace Paul, it is so very sad and such a loss to your family and your beautiful little girl. My thoughts are with your family and friends and your daughter."
Aaron Richards said: "I'm really shocked by this. You never think such things would happen to people you grew up with. My thoughts go out to your family."
Lisa Griffiths said: "Rest in peace. You are one of the nicest people I had a privilege to know. Such tragic news. Ride high in the sky Paul."
Residents living close to the scene on Charlotte Street said the incidents were shocking but it would not deter them from living in Cotmanhay.
A police spokesman at the scene said police would be carrying out reassurance patrols until Monday.
He said: "We are working around the area providing maximum visibility. We were here this morning when the children went to school and will be here all weekend."
Floral tributes were laid at the scene yesterday.
