A man has been arrested on suspicion of murder after a popular young farmer was shot dead in a field near Swadlincote, Derbyshire.

Derbyshire Police said the body of Charles Kinston, 23, was found on 29 January.

Tributes to Mr. Kinston poured in to the Leicestershire and Rutland YFC social media page.

In a Facebook post, the YFC said: “The source of laughter for a strong club, Charles prided himself on enthusiasm and passion for everything he put his mind to.

“A man with a comeback for any witty comment, who devoted his love to everyone around him, especially his beloved sidekick Beth and son, Albert.”

The post added the Kinston family wished to have their privacy respected at this difficult time, but suggested friends share "fond memories or humorous times with Charles."

Detectives said a man in his 30s was detained at the scene but later released on bail as inquiries continue.

Det Chief Inspector Matt Croome, from the East Midlands Major Crime Team, said: "We understand that this incident has had a significant impact on Mr Kinston's family, friends and the wider community.

"Due to the ongoing investigation, we are limited about the information that can be passed to the public at this time.

"However, I want to be clear that the two individuals involved in this incident are known to one another, and officers have mitigated any risk to the wider public at this time."
