Three men have been charged with murder after a man was fatally injured in a bar in Liverpool city centre.

Anthony Condron, 29, died in hospital following an incident in the Maya Bar in the early hours of Saturday morning.

22-year-old Jamie Addison from Bridgewater Street, 24-year-old Joseph Booth from Ashbourne Road, Aigburth, and 23-year-old Paul Byrne from Ribbledale Road, Mossley Hill have all been charged with murder.

All three will appear at Magistrates court this morning.

Investigators are still interested in speaking to a group of girls who are thought to have been in the bar area when the incident took place, the force said.

Detective Chief Inspector Mark Tivendale earlier said the victim had been on a night out with his girlfriend and friends.

"The incident happened in a busy bar in the centre of Liverpool and would have been witnessed by many people,'' he said.

Emergency services were called to the bar in Wood Street shortly after 1am following a report that a man had been assaulted.

Mr Condron, from Huyton, was taken to hospital and pronounced dead at 2.24am.
