Paul Bowles, 50 - (Greater Manchester Police)

The family of a man who died in an alleged road rage incident have paid tribute to him as “kind”, “loving” and a “true gentleman”.

Paul Bowles, 50, died at the scene in Broadway, Chadderton, on Wednesday following reports of an argument between two drivers, Greater Manchester Police said.

Andrew Robson, of Chadderton, has since been charged with murder.

Officers were called to reports of a fight between two motorists close to the Elk Mill roundabout on Broadway in Chadderton, Greater Manchester, at about 6.40pm on Wednesday.

Despite the efforts of emergency services, Paul Bowles was pronounced dead at the scene.

In a tribute released through police, Mr Bowles’ family described him as a “kind, loving, family man and true gentleman who always put others before himself.

“He was intelligent and quick-witted, had a brilliant mind and generous heart. Paul will be missed greatly by all his family and friends.”

Greater Manchester Police added: “Officers are continuing to support the family, who have asked for privacy at this difficult time.

“A man was earlier charged with his murder.”
