Daniel’s family, who continue to be updated and supported by family liaison officers, has released the following statement:
“Daniel, our son, brother, and loving father has been taken away from us far too soon and we are truly devastated.
“He had a huge, and the warmest, heart, having such a caring, funny, and loving personality. He loved his family and friends, always putting them first.
“We will miss you unconditionally and we were so blessed to have you in our lives, we always treasure the memories we made together.
“We will always love you, and we need time to grieve and get over the shock of losing Daniel in this horrible way.”
A 33-year-old man and 36-year-old woman, both from Glynchoch, who were also arrested as part of the investigation are released on bail pending further enquiries.
