He said: “This has been a fast-paced investigation and I am pleased to say detectives have made three arrests overnight in connection with his death.

“Although they remain in custody for questioning our investigation is still in its initial stages.

“This incident occurred in broad daylight so it is highly likely there are members of the public who witnessed the assault or may have mobile phone footage.”
