Named locally as Ammar Terbeche, tributes – written mostly in Arabic – have poured in via social media for the Castlemere Community Centre volunteer, originally of Algeria.

Ammar was sadly pronounced dead at the scene after being hit by a passing car, after he was left lying in the road after an assault. Detectives have established so far that Ammar was assaulted following a conversation with three men, who left in the direction of the memorial gardens.

The driver stopped at the scene and continues to assist police with enquiries.

A man who was arrested on suspicion of murder has been released without charge and faces no further action.
