A 26-year-old man from Walton, a 27-year-old man from Old Swan and a 46-year-old man from Walton were arrested on suspicion of murder. They have been released on conditional bail.

Detective Chief Inspector Mark Baker said: “This was a shocking and unprovoked attack, during which the victim was struck a number of times with a golf club in broad daylight.

“This incident happened in a busy residential area and we know it attracted the attention of a large group from the local community.

“We appeal for any of those people, who may have seen something suspicious on the day or heard something about it in the months since, to get in touch with us.”
