The painted message says the venue is "opening soon" and also appears to have a new name - Vibe.

The club was targeted the day after his death with its entrance on Mary Street splattered with blue paint, as well as abusive phrases daubed on both the front and rear doors.

The windows on the back entrance doors were also smashed and boarded up.

A 31-year-old man from Leigh was arrested on suspicion of Section 18 assault and bailed pending further enquiries.
