The family of a 80-year-old man who died after being assaulted in a park have said "our hearts have been completely broken".
Bhim Kohli was walking his dog Rocky at Franklin Park in Braunstone Town, Leicestershire, on Sunday evening when he was assaulted. He died later in hospital.
A 14-year-old boy remains in police custody being questioned on suspicion of murder. Four other children have been released without further action.
In a statement, his family called him "a loving husband, dad and grandad".
In a statement issued through Leicestershire Police, they said: "Bhim was a loving husband, dad and grandad. He was also a son, brother and uncle.
"One of his great passions was his allotment, he would go every day to tend to his plots and was so proud of them. He also enjoyed walking the family dog Rocky on the park many times a day.
"Bhim loved to laugh. He was always very happy and talkative, the joker of the family and always loved to outsmart us with a smile.
"Our hearts have been completely broken."
