A 58-year-old man was stabbed to death in Cambridge—suspect charged and set to appear in court.

A Cambridge community is in shock after a man was brutally stabbed to death in the early hours of Tuesday, February 25. The victim, Granville Graham, 58, was found fatally wounded on Chesterton Road after emergency services rushed to the scene at 1am. Despite efforts to save him, he was pronounced dead at 1.18am.

The accused, Liam Rush, 30, also of Chesterton Road, was arrested the same night. He has now been charged with murder and is due to appear before Huntingdon Magistrates’ Court tomorrow (Thursday, February 27).

Graham’s devastated family paid an emotional tribute, remembering him as a “special soul with an infectious, happy-go-lucky spirit.” Their grief has rippled through the local community, with neighbours expressing shock at the violence that erupted on their doorstep.

Police launched a murder investigation immediately after the incident, with forensic teams combing the area for evidence. Officers have not yet disclosed a possible motive behind the attack, but the case is being treated as a targeted killing.

A post-mortem examination is scheduled for Monday, March 3, which is expected to provide further clarity on the precise cause of death.

The tragedy has sparked fears of rising violent crime in Cambridge, with local residents calling for increased police presence. Many have expressed disbelief that such a brutal killing could happen in a normally quiet area.

Authorities have urged anyone with information to come forward, as investigators piece together the final moments leading up to the deadly stabbing. With the accused now in custody, the next phase of the high-profile murder case will unfold in court tomorrow
