'Loving and caring' foster carer Martin Sullivan stabbed to death in street - daughter pays tribute

A 'loving and caring' foster carer will ‘never be forgotten’ his family has said. Martin Sullivan’s daughter paid tribute to her dad after he was stabbed to death on the street.

The 63-year old died in hospital after being stabbed on Highbury Road, Luton on January 8. Emergency services were called shortly after 11pm to a report of a serious stabbing.

Mr Sullivan, who reportedly fostered children alongside his late wife Liz, has been described by residents in the area as a 'selfless' and 'beautiful soul'. His daughter has now spoken out about her father through a police statement.

She said: “My dad was a very loving and caring person who would help anyone. He will be very much missed by all his friends and family. He’ll never be forgotten.”

Abul Kasim, 25, was arrested on January 12 and charged the following day with murder in connection with the incident. He has been remanded into custody ahead of a court hearing at Luton Crown Court on Thursday (January 16).
