The Daily Mirror have quoted Detective Inspector Lee McCullough, of Hackney CID, as saying, "My team is acting on a number of leads to bring in those wanted for questioning in relation to this awful incident.

"I am continuing to appeal to Arthur Collins and the two men who were seen with him to hand themselves in so that we can talk to them about the incident in the nightclub."
