A murder investigation has been launched after a man who was assaulted by intruders later died.
Warren Burns was attacked on 21 May at a home on Heysham Avenue in Fallowfield, Manchester, Greater Manchester Police said.
The 37-year-old died in hospital four days later.
A 20-year-old man has been charged with attempted murder while a second man has been arrested on suspicion of murder and was being questioned.
A 19-year-old woman also arrested on suspicion of attempted murder has been released on bail.
Mr Burns's family said he had recently become a father and was "a larger than life character with a gentle soul, often referred to as a gentle giant".
"It's heart-breaking that he will never see his son grow up and experience all that life has to offer," they said.
"He was a true legend and he will be greatly missed."
Det Ch Insp Nichola McCulloch said it was "a shocking incident" and appealed for anyone with information to come forward.
