Det Insp Mark Henderson said: "A young man has lost his life in a senseless and violent attack and it is absolutely vital that we trace the person responsible.

"We understand there was a party within the flat where the incident took place and people in attendance will have witnessed what happened.

"I would appeal to these people to do the right thing and tell the police what they know because this despicable individual has no place in our society."
