Exactly a week on from the incident, which occurred on Thursday, August 13, police hope to make contact with anyone who was at the bar that night who might have seen what happened.

Detective Chief Inspector Steve Handley, who is leading the inquiry, said: “The investigation is still in the very early stages and we are carrying out a vast amount of work to establish the full facts about what happened to Mr Siddall.

“A team of officers will have a clear presence in Silver Street outside the VDKA bar tonight - we will be there simply to speak to anyone who might have information about what happened.

“We are committed to finding answers for Mr Siddall’s family and urge anyone with information to tell us what they know.”

Anyone with information should contact South Yorkshire Police on 101, quoting incident 122 of 14 August 2015.

A 22-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of murder and has been released on bail pending further enquiries.
