A woman in her 20s was also found injured and taken to hospital for medical treatment. Her injuries are not believed to be life threatening.
"Did"
Mr Bettison's family have been paying tribute.
In a statement, his family said: “Everybody loved Did. He leaves a huge hole in our lives and no words can describe the heartache and endless cycle of disbelief we are trapped in.
“He was our beloved son, brother, dad, partner and friend. To never see his twinkling blue eyes, big grin and gait as he walked, will mean our lives will never be the same again.
“There is no surprise at the hundreds of messages we have received from everyone that knew him, saying how kind, funny and special he really was."
