THE BROTHER of a man killed in Basingstoke at the weekend says he wants to see justice in a tribute.
Geoffrey Hibbert, 61, and his wife Michelle Caroline Hibbert, died at their home in Buckland Avenue on Sunday morning, with police launching a double murder investigation.
The pair were named on Tuesday afternoon, whilst a 52-year-old man from Sherborne St John remains in custody.
Now, Geoffrey's brother has said he wants to see justice done.
Frank Hibbert also mentioned that he wants to find out what will happen to Geoffrey's son, who was taken into care after the incident.
As previously reported, Hampshire Police have confirmed they are working closely with Child Services to ensure the child is safeguarded and provided with support.
Frank said: "I was going to come down to visit him yesterday, and when I saw a lot of police and blue lights and the road all cordoned off I knew it was my brother's house straight away.
"The police won't tell me anything, even though I've said he's my brother.
"We saw they have arrested a 52 year old man but that's about all we know," he told The Sun.
"I want to find out what will happen to his son - he's only two or three years old and he's my main concern.
"Me and Geoffrey didn't see eye to eye all the time but as brothers and family we have helped each other out in the past. I know that if I asked him to do me a favour he would have done it.
"Geoffrey repairs bikes and has a small holding of sheep somewhere nearby, though I've never been there.
"Now I have to go and tell all of this to my dad who lives in London, but I still don't know anything about what happened.
"I just want to know what's going on with the little boy and I want to see justice for whatever has happened."
