"Respected and Liked By All Who Knew Him" is how this piece was headlined in the newspaper. Never has a sentence been more true. Pete was a great journalist but a greater person. He will be sorely missed. expressandstar.com/news/poli…

RIP to a titan of political journalism.
@ExpressandStar Political Editor Pete Madeley has sadly passed away. Thoughts go to his family at this time.
Pete taught me so much during my time as a news reporter and I’m incredibly grateful. A true professional and brilliant person.

Pete Madeley was a brilliant and highly respected journalist in the @ExpressandStar newsroom.
Also kind, supportive and extremely funny - the best colleague you could ask to work alongside.
So many wonderful memories in and out of the office.
RIP

In less than a week we've seen a man dreadfully killed on a street in daylight, to the start of a major investigation, to charges being laid, and court proceedings underway. The team at the Shropshire Star will be following this one all the way.
