Funeral of murdered Christopher Butler to take place

The service will take place at Havant Crematorium at 1pm and family and friends of Mr Butler are invited.

The body of 27-year-old Mr Butler was found in a house in Waverley Road, Southsea, in the early hours of New Year’s Day.

His family have previously described him as ‘a sensitive soul’ who loved football, animals and had a very active imagination.

Mr Butler had been living in Portsmouth, but grew up in Leigh Park, where most of his family still live.

People are asked to bring a flower for Chris to the funeral.

So far, five people have been arrested in connection with the case.

Brendon Willis, of Waverley Road, has been charged with murder.
