       The dad-of-two has now tragically passed away at the University Hospital of Wales leaving his family devastated.

       Three people - including a 16-year-old girl - have been charged with attempted murder but police have now launched a murder probe.

       The schoolgirl, Jason Edwards, 25, and Lee William Strickland, 36, are due to appear at Cardiff Crown Court on August 23.

       Consultant psychiatrist Gary worked for Cardiff and Vale NHS Trust and was described as a "loving father of two."

       His heartbroken family said in a statement: "We are distraught to announce the untimely death of Dr Gary Jenkins, who was a loving father of two wonderful daughters.

       "He lived his life happily with love, music, creativity and dedication to his profession."
