Six men and one woman have been arrested on suspicion of murder. They remain in police custody.

Detective Chief Inspector Steve Handley, who is overseeing the investigation, said: 'It's crucial that we gather as much evidence as possible as we work to establish the full circumstances of this assault.

'I am keen to hear from anyone who was at Centertainment between 9pm and 9.30pm last night who saw or heard anything suspicious but I'm also keen to speak to anyone with a dashcam, in particular taxi drivers dropping people off in and around the area.

He added: 'I appreciate that this has been an extremely distressing incident for both the people who were at Centertainment last night but also the wider public.
