Keyron Curtis

Keyron Curtis, 21, was from Cwmdare, and his family have paid the following tribute to him:

“Keyron was a friendly, easy-going family boy with a heart of gold. He was loved by us all, and always put other people before himself. He was to become a father in a few weeks and would have been a great dad. He will be sorely missed by all of his family and friends”

A 24 year old man from Penywaun, Aberdare has been arrested on suspicion of murder and is currently in police custody.
