A 31-year-old man was taken to hospital with serious head injures but died a short time later.

“This is such a tragic situation, made even more devastating by the fact it is days before Christmas and what should be a happy time turned into violence.
"My thoughts are with the man's family and our specially trained officers are supporting them through this difficult time.
“We are appealing for anyone who saw the fighting or has any information to get in touch with us as soon as possible. Someone out there knows who did this, and I want to be able to give the man’s family the answers they deserve.”
