Five people were arrested on suspicion of murder six years after a man died following a brutal attack by thugs.
Simon Dobbin, who used to live in Ormskirk and was a Liverpool FC fan who also supported Cambridge United, was viciously attacked after attending a Cambridge away match in March 2015. Following the attack, which left Mr Dobbin brain damaged and requiring around-the-clock care, a total of 13 people were convicted for their roles in the crime.
Mr Dobbin, at the age of 48, died in October 2020, leaving behind his wife Nicole and daughter Emily. Subsequent medical examinations found a causal link between his death and injuries sustained from the attack, EssexLive reports.
