Detective Chief Inspector Mark McManus, of Protective Services (Crime), said: “We believe there was a social gathering taking place at the address, and during that time a disagreement has occurred between two men.

“This has resulted in one of the men receiving injuries, which sadly proved fatal.

“There were a number of people in the house at the time, particularly a man, a woman and a small child, and I would appeal to them to contact police as soon as possible with any information they may have.

“We would also like to trace a man who was seen leaving the address around that time, in the direction of Bradford city centre.
