Detective Chief Inspector Matt Croome, of the East Midlands Special Operations Unit, said: "I’d once again like to pass on my condolences to Mr Connor’s loved ones during what must be an incredibly difficult time for them.

"A large team of officers have been investigating the attack that took Mr Connor’s life since it happened and we have now arrested four suspects.

"This is still very much an ongoing investigation however, so we’d again ask anyone who was in the area at the time of this incident and spotted anything suspicious to contact us immediately.

"We’d also like to hear from residents or motorists with any CCTV, doorbell camera, or dashcam footage that could assist our inquiries.

"Any piece of information, however small it might seem, could make a huge difference in helping us fully understand what happened."
