South Yorkshire Police said: “Enquiries are ongoing and officers are keen to speak to anyone with information which might help them piece together the circumstances around Mr Appicella’s death.

“We again would like to offer our reassurance that we believe this to have been a targeted attack and there is no wider risk to the community.”
