Tributes have been paid to a man who died after an incident at his East Yorkshire home.
Police were called to Little London Lane in West Cowick at 7.15pm on December 28, where Paul Hanson, 54, was found injured with a stab wound and rushed to hospital but he later died of his injuries. A 53-year-old woman, who police said was known to Mr Hanson, was arrested at the scene on suspicion of murder and remains in police custody while the circumstances of what happened are established.
According to neighbours who knew Mr Hanson, he was a doting dad and grandad that would always stop for a chat. Residents that had only seen him a few days earlier at Snaith Christmas Market with his wife and daughter described "a really lovely family".

Panic spread through the village when police swarmed the narrow lane on Wednesday evening, a sight that a lot of residents had never seen. "I thought a burglary must have happened or something, until the police came knocking on my door asking questions," one man said.
A woman added: "It’s been absolutely manic with police cars down here. Never in a million years did I think something like this would happen."
Paul Hanson was a man that many saw regularly, even if not everyone knew him personally. A man added: "The family have been there for around three or four years, the guy always said ‘alright’ to me when I’d walk my dog. I’d see him coming and going in his work van early in the morning."
A more familiar neighbour would often chat with Paul and his family and knew his grown-up children. "They were a really lovely family.
"They would always stop and speak, they are quite well-known in this village. They have been here a few years and were recently doing the house up and spent Christmas with their family."
The Little London Lane resident said that all the neighbours were fairly close and would always look out for each other. Others walking past were shocked that the incident involved someone who lived down there but a dog walker simply said: "I suppose you never know what goes on behind closed doors."
It is thought that Mr Hanson was in the construction business and was often seen in his work van. Police said officers and detectives were working to establish what exactly happened that evening.
Humberside Police said: "A man who sustained a fatal stab wound at a property in West Cowick on Wednesday 28 December has been named by his family as Paul Hanson, aged 54. We were called to reports of an injured male at a property on Little London Way, West Cowick in Snaith at 7.15pm.
"Paul was taken to hospital to receive medical treatment, but sadly he died shortly afterwards. A woman, aged 53 was arrested on suspicion of murder and currently remains in police custody whilst we continue with lines of enquiry.
"Paul’s family continue to be supported by specialist trained officers and have asked for privacy at this time."
Detective Chief Inspector Nicola Burnett added: "We understand that news of a tragic incident such as this will cause shock and concern to people in the village and surrounding areas. However, I wish to reassure people that this was an isolated incident between people who were known to each other and, as such, there is no wider risk to members of the public.
"Officers will remain in West Cowick over the coming days whilst we continue with our investigation, and a scene guard will remain in place. Please come to talk to us if you have any concerns, or information that may assist with our enquiries.
"You can also call our non-emergency number 101 quoting log 435 of 28 December. Or, if you would prefer to report information anonymously, you can do so by calling the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111."
