The family of Andrew Nicholas who died in Monmouth on Sunday 26 June has paid tribute to him, describing him as ‘wonderful’ and ‘absolute gentleman’.

 

The family of a Poole man who died in Monmouth on Sunday 26 June has paid tribute to him, describing him as a ‘wonderful’ and ‘loving’ son.

Officers attended the incident, along with Welsh Ambulance Service paramedics, after a man was found unresponsive in Monnow Street at around 1.15am.

Andrew Nicholas, 43, from Poole, was taken to hospital but later died from his injuries.

His next of kin are aware and are receiving support from specialist officers.

His family has released the following statement:

“We are all heartbroken beyond words by the shocking and unacceptable loss of Andrew, known to all as Bandy.

“He was an amazing, wonderful, and loving son, brother, and uncle to his three nieces who adored him.

“He was a well-known and respected sportsman through semi-professional football and with his big passion, golf.

“His passing has devastated the local golf community and his golf club where he was a key member, champion, and friend to so many.

“He was heavily involved with the club and ran charity and support events through covid to support the NHS.

“The club members describe him as a legend and absolute gentleman.

“The hole that has been left in the lives of so many is one that will never be filled, and the pain caused will be with us for the rest of our lives. His loss will never be forgotten.

“The kind words of love and support we as a family have received has been incredible.”

Three men – one aged 21 and two aged 19 – from the Monmouth area were arrested on suspicion of assault.

A 19-year-old man was previously charged with assault and appeared at Newport Magistrates Court on Thursday 30th June where he was remanded into custody.

He has also been charged with manslaughter and will appear at Newport Magistrates Court on Tuesday 26 July.

A second 19-year-old man was released on conditional bail, while the 21-year-old man was later released without charge.

Enquiries are ongoing and anyone with information, including CCTV or dashcam footage, from Monnow Street is asked to call 101 or send us a direct message on social media, quoting log reference 2200213333.

You can also contact Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
