The parents of an eight-year-old boy who died after being shot at a farm have described him as “loving, kind and full of mischief”.<\/p>\n

Jay Cartmell, from Frizington, in west Cumbria, died in hospital after suffering wounds to his head and face on land near Warcop on 28 September. <\/p>\n

Leigha and James Cartmell said they were heartbroken over the passing of their little boy who was “loved by all who met him”.<\/p>\n

A man in his 60s was arrested on suspicion of gross negligence manslaughter and later released on bail.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Jay Cartmell loved Speedway, his parents said<\/figcaption><\/p>\n<\/figure>\n
\n

In a statement issued through Cumbria Police, Mr and Mrs Cartmell said “Jay loved being outdoors” and “the muddier he could get the better”.<\/p>\n

They said he was an avid Speedway fan, a passion he had shared with his dad since first being taken to Workington Speedway when he was one. <\/p>\n

He “always went to the Pit to fist bump his heroes, local racers Harry and Sam McGurk”, his parents said. <\/p>\n

Jay was a defender at Whitehaven Miners Football Club, and even scoring an own goal “didn’t dampen his enthusiasm”, his parents said.<\/p>\n

His favourite player was Erling Haaland and he dreamed of meeting Lionel Messi.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Jay also “enjoyed fishing and rabbiting with his dad” and helped looking after the family pets, which included lurchers, ferrets and a bearded dragon.<\/p>\n

“He loved school and had a talent for maths,” Mr and Mrs Cartmell said. <\/p>\n

“Jay was extremely loved, not only by us, but by all who met him. He had fantastic friends and always had a smile on his face. <\/p>\n

“We will miss him every day, but his love surrounds us and his memory will never fade.”<\/p>\n

Mr and Mrs Cartmell thanked the Air Ambulance Service, the Royal Victoria Infirmary in Newcastle and Alder Hey Children’s Hospital in Liverpool. <\/p>\n

They also thanked local groups, including the Workington Speedway Supporters Club, for their donations. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
