The 22-year-old Albanian national, believed to have been an illegal immigrant, was injured when fights broke out on Earl Marshal Road, in Fir Vale, and Kirton Road, in Pitsmoor.

Armend, who lived on Kirton Road, was taken to A&E at the Northern General Hospital in a car which was then driven off while medics battled to revive him.

Open heart surgery was performed in the hope of saving his life but he passed away, triggering a murder probe.

Five arrests have been made so far as part of the investigation into the murder.
