"He was rushed to hospital but sadly died of his injuries two days later.

"Daniel’s family are devastated by his death.

"Some men have since been arrested on suspicion of murder.

"The arrest of these three men is a positive step but we are still working hard to piece together the sequence of events which led to Daniel’s death.

"We are grateful to those people who have come forward to speak to us so far, but we do need to speak to everyone who was present at the Klimate Club that night, whether or not you think you saw anything relevant. We would also like to speak to anyone else who has any information which they believe would assist our investigation.

"Anyone who is concerned about speaking to police can be assured that any information they give can be treated in the strictest of confidence. I’m also appealing to anyone who may have any photos or footage from the club on Saturday evening into Sunday morning to get in touch."

Anyone with information is asked to call West Midlands Police on 101, quoting incident reference number 536 of September 30. Alternatively, information can be passed on anonymously to Crimestoppers on 0800 555111.
