Tony Fisher was stabbed to death on his house on a residential street in Carlton, Nottingham. The victim's body was discovered by his son on Saturday afternoon, around 3pm, according to Mirror. Police investigated that Mr. Fisher's death was a case of a botched burglary.
Investigators of the case also revealed that they had began a murder inquiry regarding the death of Mr. Fisher, who was also a popular man in their area and was also a good healthcare worker.

The intruders then entered the premises on Friday night and attacked Fisher with a knife, stabbing the victim to death.
Rob Griffin, the Detective Superintendent of Nottingham Police explains, "We are working on the basis that Tony was targeted not on the basis that he was Tony, but on the hypothesis that those who went into that house did so because they believed there was a substantial amount of money inside."
Tony Fisher worked in Nottinghamshire Healthcare Trust for 26 years. Residence of the said area also was completely devastated and shock at the death of their good known neighbor.
