The heartbroken sister of a man who was stripped naked and left for dead in a skip said someone must have taken advantage of his good nature to kill him.

Michael Hunt was found suffering from horrific injuries in an alleyway off Station Road, South Norwood.

His sister Georgina Hunt she her brother had been beaten so savagely it looked like he had been hit by a 10-tonne truck three times.

Mr Hunt, was taken to Kings College Hospital, Denmark Hill, but was pronounced dead about five hours later on March 15.

A man and a woman have since been charged with his murder.

Miss Hunt, one of Michael’s three sisters, paid tribute to the father-of-four.

She said: "Everybody loved him, he didn't have any enemies.

"He was the best brother you could ask for.

"I'm just desperate that whoever did this to my brother is brought to justice.

"Someone took advantage of his good nature and killed him.

"And I want to know why.

"Police have told me he was so savagely beaten it looked like he'd been hit by a 10 tonne truck three times."

The 34-year-old said her family moved to London from Kilmore Quay in County Wexford, Ireland, 17 years ago.

Known as Irish Mick, Michael lived with his widowed mum Linda Hunt-Charmartin, 59, close to Georgina.

He had a girlfriend Myriam Tocko-salvetti (pictured above) and four children from previous relationships - a 15-year-old daughter, eight-year-old son and four-year-old twin boys.

Miss Hunt said: "He didn't live with his children, but he was close to them. He doted on them."

She said the last time she saw her brother was on Friday night, when he'd gone to his local, The Portmanor pub, to take part in a dance competition which she said he won.

Mr Hunt's family said in a statement: "We love and miss you lots and lots, you will never be forgotten.

"Mick was such a kind gentle natured spirit, always happy-go-lucky with a dry sense of humour.

"He had a kind heart and was a loving big blue eyed silver fox.

"Mick was very family orientated he was loved by everyone who he came into contact with."
