The girlfriend, 23, who murdered a young father, 22,’ is shown as family, friends, and the football club pay tribute to him

THIS is the first image of a woman accused of murdering a young father who died after being stabbed in the chest.

Bradley Lewis, 22, was rushed to hospital on Friday night from his home in Kingswood, South Gloucs, following a “incident.”

Unfortunately, he was unable to be saved and was declared dead in the hospital the following day.

Bradley died from a single stab wound to the chest, according to the autopsy.

Abigail White, his 23-year-old girlfriend, has now been charged with murder.

When she appeared in Bristol Magistrates’ Court today for a brief hearing, she only spoke to confirm her name, date of birth, and address.

White, who was dressed in a grey sweatshirt and jogging bottoms, was remanded in custody pending a hearing at Bristol Crown Court on Wednesday.

The news comes after Bradley’s family released a heartfelt tribute to the father.

In a statement, they stated: “Bradley, our wonderful, much-loved son, was taken from us far too soon.”

Following the tragedy, bereaved friends paid tribute as well.

One person stated: “We lost a wonderful, lovely person without saying goodbye.

“I hope he realises how much and how many people cared about him.”

A second person described him as a “lush boy,” adding, “It’s too bad you were taken from this earth.”

“Your family will miss you so much, and those beautiful children of yours will miss you so much, my brother,” said another.

“You’ve matured into the man everyone wanted you to be, respected and loved.”

Hanham Athletic Football Club (HAFC) also issued a statement in support of Bradley, who played as a substitute.

“We are deeply saddened to inform you that one of our reserve team players, Brad Lewis, has died,” they said.

“Before our game yesterday, we observed a minute’s silence in honour of Brad.

“We extend our heartfelt condolences to Brad’s family and friends.”

On Friday night, police were called to the house after a “incident.”

As the investigation continues, specially trained officers are assisting the victim’s family.

Over the weekend, white-suited forensics officers entered Bradley’s home.

“A 23-year-old woman has been charged with murder after a man died in hospital following an incident at a house in Kingswood, South Gloucestershire, on Friday night,” Avon and Somerset Police said.
