Tributes have been paid to a young farmer, aged 23, who was shot and killed in a Derbyshire field.
Charles Kinston was a 'highly thought of member' of Netherseal Young Farmers Club for over twelve years.
The young farmer, who was a father, was shot dead on land off Brizlincote Lane, located near Bretby, on Monday 29 January.
Derbyshire Police said a man in his 30s was arrested at the scene on suspicion of murder.
It added that the man has since been released on bail whilst inquiries continue.
In a social media post, Leicestershire and Rutland Young Farmers Club paid tribute to Mr Kinston's "enthusiasm and passion".
The YFC said: "We are devastated and saddened to announce [Mr Kinston's] life was tragically taken from him on Monday 29 January.
"The source of laughter for a strong club, Charles prided himself on enthusiasm and passion for everything he put his mind to!
