BACKGROUND: Doncaster Road murder investigation: Victim of Rotherham New Year's Day attack named as Fatjon Oruci

A 33-year-old man from Rotherham was arrested on Wednesday afternoon and has been released under investigation.

It comes after a 26-year-old man and a 20-year-old woman were arrested on New Year’s Day on suspicion of murder in London. They were released under investigation while police enquiries continue.

A 23-year-old man from Rotherham was then arrested on January 4 on suspicion of murder. He has since been released from custody with no further action to be taken due to a lack of evidence.

Police were called to reports of a brawl on Badsley Moor Lane on the morning Mr Oruci died.

Subsequently, the 22-year-old was found unconscious on Doncaster Road. He died shortly afterwards.

Officers are keen to speak to anyone who may have seen or heard anything suspicious between 11pm on December 31 and 2am on January 1 in the area of either Badsley Moor Lane or Doncaster Road.
