Police said they believed the attack was targeted and those involved knew each other.

On Saturday afternoon, relatives and friends of Mr Bell walked two miles from the boxing gym where he trained to the pub, where floral tributes and signed boxing gloves were placed outside.

Tracy Langley, his mother, said the family had been "torn to pieces" by her son's death.
