David, 23, of Castleton, died in hospital after receiving stab wounds during a fight on Berwick Street on 17 May.

David was married with a three-year-old daughter, and at the time of his death, his wife was expecting their second daughter.

In a tribute, his family said: “David was a loving, hard-working family man. Everything he did was for his wife and child.

“His three-year-old daughter Elizabeth and wife Bridget are absolutely devastated and miss him more than words can ever say.

“David was due to be a father for a second time any day and was so excited to meet his new baby and move into a new home. He has worked so hard for this and will now sadly never get the chance.

“David had so much to live for. His whole family are absolutely heart broken.

“His mother Elizabeth and father Martin pray the person who killed their son will face legal justice.”
