Church bells will ring this weekend to mark the 19th birthday of a teenager stabbed to death in Ipswich. 

Raymond James Quigley died after being stabbed in Westgate Street in Ipswich, on Tuesday, January 17, 2023. 

The Wymondham resident was 18 years old at the time of his death. 

This Saturday would be Mr Quigley's 19th birthday and two churches in his home county of Norfolk will ring the church bells in his memory. 

Mr Quigley's family said Wymondham Abbey will ring its bells at 10am for 45 minutes and the bells of St John's Catholic Cathedral in Norwich will ring 18 times at 5pm. 

Mr Quigley's sister paid tribute ahead of her late brother's birthday and said: "To our baby boy, may you be resting in eternal peace, James. 

"This week 19 years ago, we were so excited to be welcoming such a beautiful, healthy little baby boy into our family."

"Our mum and your dad were so excited and proud at the time because they knew they were welcoming a new beauty, a child that completed the family.  

"Mum and dad were the proudest they had ever been since your brother was also born.

"And now we will have to stay by the side of your grave and try to make the most of the day for you as you're no longer here.  

"Our hearts are genuinely broken. You may be gone, but you will never be tarnished, you will shine bright forever, and we will forever hear you every time the bells chime. Rest up there, baby boy.

"There are so many people missing you. All of our family and friends will never forget you.  

"We would also like to say a big thank you to the parishes of Wymondham Abbey and the Cathedral of St John the Baptist for their generosity and time for our James. It is very much appreciated.

"Forever 18." 

Joshua Howell of Wellington Street in Ipswich, then 18 years old, and Alfie Hammett of Larkhill Rise, Rushmere St Andrew, then 17 years old, have denied murder. 

On Tuesday, June 20, police arrested two more people in connection with Mr Quigley's death including an 18-year-old man from Norwich and a 16-year-old boy from the Fenland area of Cambridgeshire on suspicion of murder.
