Police have launched a murder investigation after a 20-year-old Arjun Singh was assaulted in Nottingham city centre tragically died.

Arjun Singh, a student at Nottingham Trent University, was taken to the Queen’s Medical Centre following the attack in Long Row just before 4am Saturday 18 January. Arjun died Sunday 19 January 2020.

The enquiry is now being treated as a murder investigation and a team of detectives are working hard to establish the circumstances.

Police are eager to trace two men who fled the scene on foot following the incident.

Detective Inspector Richard Monk, of Nottinghamshire Police, said: “This was a serious assault which has resulted in a young man losing his life.

“Our thoughts with Arjun’s family and friends and we would ask that people respect their privacy at this very sad and difficult time.

“It is really important that if anyone has any information that could help the enquiry, no matter how small it may be, they come forward immediately. If you were in the area of the Slug and Lettuce public house around 3.45am on Saturday morning and have not yet spoken to the police, I would urge you to come forward.

“We need to hear from anyone who may have dash-cam footage, including taxi-drivers who were in the area of Long Row West and Angel Row at the time, or any mobile phone footage of the incident.

“Please call Nottinghamshire Police on 101, quoting incident number 132 of 18 January 2020, or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.”
