Tributes pour in for Aber student Torin Lakeman
‘He will be sadly missed’
Amy DurrantHeartbreaking tributes have flooded in after the bodies of Torin Lakeman and his brother Jacques were found on Monday.
Torin, 19, and Jacques, 20, were found dead in a room above The Grapes pub in Bolton.
They were believed to have been in the area to watch a Manchester United match.
Friends and family raised concerns when the brothers could not be contacted last weekend.
He will be sadly missed
Professor Qiang Shen, Director of the Institute of Mathematics, Physics and Computer Science at Aberystwyth University said: “Torin was a second year Physics undergraduate, who was planning to specialise in Planetary and Space Physics.
“He was an intelligent student, achieving some excellent grades during his first year, particularly in applied Physics and Astronomy modules.
“He will be sadly missed, and fondly remembered by staff and students alike at the Department of Physics and the Institute of Mathematics, Physics and Computer Science.”
Torin attended Aberystwyth University
Post-mortem examinations and toxicology reports have not yet been released.
