Tribute to devoted dad stabbed to death on train

THE “devoted” father murdered on a train in an “horrific and pointless attack” had been taking his son on a trip to London.

On what would have been his 52nd birthday, the family of Lee Pomeroy said he was “an honourable man and would always help somebody who was in trouble”.

The tribute comes after police swooped on a flat in Willbury Road, Farnham, in the early hours of yesterday to arrest a suspect.

Mr Pomeroy was travelling with his 14-year-old son on the 12.58 service between Guildford and London Waterloo on Friday when he was stabbed several times.

At 6am yesterday a suspect was arrested on suspicion of murder at a flat near Farnham Hospital alongside a 27-year-old woman detained on suspicion of assisting an offender.

In a statement released by British Transport Police, Mr Pomeroy’s family said: “He was a devoted family man and did everything for his family.”
