Jordan lived with his mother Nicola in Berkhamsted and two younger brothers – 13-year-old Leon and 17-year-old Connor.

“He loved his music and was a loving, kind hearted and family orientated boy.”

Jordan’s father Ian, who lives in Hemel Hempstead, added: “Jordan had a heart of gold and was very loyal to his family.

“He teased his younger brothers a lot but was also really good to them. He was always good with younger children and I always thought that he would be a wonderful father one day in the future.”

Jordan’s family is being supported by specialist officers from the Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire and Hertfordshire Major Crime Unit and have asked that their privacy is respected at this time.
