Steven's family have released the following statement: "Steven was a loving and amazing father, husband, grandad, brother and uncle. He had so much to live for and so many more memories to make with us all.

"He was one-of-a-kind and our hearts are broken, there are no words. He's been taken from his five sons, two daughters and four grandchildren and our lives will never be the same again.

Detective Inspector Jamie Sherlock said the force is seeking witnesses to come forward.

He said: "Our investigation has established there were a number of people in the area at the time of the incident and I continue to urge anyone who has any information, but hasn't yet spoken to police, to please call us on 101, quoting incident number 3471 of 12 March, 2023.
