Ms Evans said Isaac, who was a carpenter from Carrington in Nottingham, died in a grassland area near the early Bronze Age stone circle.

The horror unfolded on June 22 after Isaac’s body was discovered at the Nine Ladies Stone Circle at around 1.30pm. Derbyshire Police said at the time his life was “taken in the most brutal way”. Isaac had been working as a joiner at the Nottingham-based building firm Frank Goulding Ltd before leaving late last year for a period of travelling.

The team at Frank Goulding said in a statement: “Isaac joined us as a young man in 2016 to pursue a career in construction. “He successfully completed his joinery apprenticeship and developed into a very skilled joiner. “Isaac was a very popular member of our team and decided last year he wanted to take some time and go and see the world, in particular spending some time in Thailand to develop his Muay Thai skills, which was a passion of his. “We are all very saddened to hear the tragic news and our prayers and sympathy go to his family.” According to English Heritage, Nine Ladies Stone Circle is a small early Bronze Age stone circle “traditionally believed to depict nine ladies turned to stone as a penalty for dancing on Sunday.” Babynko, 23, has been remanded into custody ahead of a further hearing on September 25 at Derby Crown Court.
