His next of kin have been told of his death, the force said.

Four men, one aged 18 and three aged 24, were arrested later on Monday on suspicion of murder and remain in custody.

Detective Chief Inspector (DCI) Neil John, who is heading the investigation, said the assault took place "outside a busy nightclub" and asked anyone with information, dashcam or mobile phone footage to contact police.

Local people should expect to see more police activity during the rest of the day.

DCI John called it a "deeply tragic" incident and said their thoughts "are with the victim's family".
