He was attacked, along with a friend, in Havelock Road, Hastings, near the taxi rank at around 1am on Friday.

Two men, a 24-year-old from Rye and a 21-year-old from Hastings, have been arrested on suspicion of murder and bailed until March pending further enquiries.

Detective Superintendent Tanya Jones, of Sussex Police, said: "This is obviously devastating news for Mr Hill's friends and family who we are supporting at this difficult time.

"Four men were seen arguing over what is believed to have been a dispute about a taxi moments before the assault.

"We have already spoken to a number of witnesses, but we are still appealing to anyone who has not yet come forward to get in touch to help us build a picture of what happened.

"Any information could prove to be really important."

Witnesses are asked to contact Sussex Police using the online form at sussex.police.uk/contact-us/response-to-appeal/ or call 101, quoting Operation Locket.

I know the RSCH is the leading trauma unit down here, but it's far from a short trip from Hastings.

No surprised the fella died.
