The killer of a man stabbed to death at a Sheffield pub on Boxing Day remains at large.

Detectives launched a murder probe after a man named locally as Coley Byrne was fatally attacked at the Gypsy Queen pub, Beighton, at around 10pm on Sunday, December 26.

It is understood that violence flared in the pub on Drake House Lane, with reports of bottles and glasses being thrown, before it spilled onto the car park.

He was rushed to hospital but could not be saved.

No arrests over the killing have yet been made.

DCI Mick Hakin, leading the investigation for South Yorkshire Police, said: “We are looking to speak to anyone who may have been in the Gypsy Queen at the time and who may have seen anything that can help us determine exactly what happened which led to the death of a young man.”
