A seventh man has now been arrested in connection with the murder of Suffolk football fan Simon Dobbin.
Simon was left with permanent brain damage after being attacked in Station Approach in Southend in March 2015 following a Southend United v Cambridge United match.
He died five years later at the age of 48 at home in Mildenhall, Suffolk.
Medical tests have shown there was a direct link between his death and the injuries he had sustained.
A 26 year old was arrested on suspicion of Simon's murder last week (June 27).
He's since been released under investigation.
Six men, aged 27, 29, 30, 34, 39 and 45 have already been questioned in connection with the case.
