The victim has been formally identified as 52-year-old Paul Sharp on Friday 27 October.

He had been found on Wednesday 25 October when police officers were called to the scene on a property at Redscope Crescent at 7.40 BST. 

He was found with serious injuries and a post mortem examination revealed he died as a result of being stabbed. 

In a statement to  South Yorkshire Police, Mr Sharp’s family said: “Paul’s death has brought deep sadness and is even more shocking due to the tragic circumstances.
