Morris is the only person to have been charged in connection with the fatal stabbing at the Gypsy Queen public house, in Beighton, Sheffield, at around 10pm, on Boxing Day 2021.

Mr Byrne, 26, sustained ‘multiple stab wounds’ and he was taken to hospital from the pub on Drake House Lane but could not be saved.

Last week, his mum, Michelle Byrne, issued a plea for anyone with information about her son’s death to come forward.

Mr Byrne was a father-of-five.
