The man has now been formally identified as 43-year-old Dominic Wilson. Police said a post-mortem examination confirmed he died from a stab injury. “Dominic was a loving father to his children, he always enjoyed what this life had to offer, and he lived it to the full,” his family said.
“His bubbly character will live on and he will be dearly missed by those who knew him,” they continued.
A further four people were arrested on Tuesday and remain in police custody. A 39-year-old man and a 29-year-old woman were arrested on suspicion of murder and a 45-year-old man and a 54-year-old man were arrested on suspicion of assisting an offender.
