An off-duty police officer has died after an assault in Liverpool in the early hours of the morning after a Christmas night out with colleagues.
Merseyside Police said they responded at around 3.15am to reports that three men had been attacked near a city centre nightclub.
All three men were taken to hospital, where PC Neil Doyle died a short time later.
The 36-year-old had married his wife Sarah five months ago and the couple were due to go on their honeymoon in January.
The other two men, who were being treated for facial injuries before being discharged from hospital, are also police officers.
The attack happened on Colquitt Street, near the Aloha Club.
Police have launched a murder investigation and the scene has been cordoned off while forensic examinations take place.
Merseyside Police Chief Constable Sir Jon Murphy said the force's "heartfelt condolences" went out to PC Doyle's wife and the rest of his family.
He said PC Doyle had been enjoying a Christmas night out with colleagues before the "unprovoked and vicious" attack.
He thanked paramedics and members of the public for battling in vain to save PC Doyle before he was taken to hospital.
The victim was based at the Eaton Road station in the east of the city.
Merseyside Police Federation chairman Peter Singleton said he was "a good cop that any officer would be proud to call a colleague".
He added: "Neil was the kind of officer the police service is built on. This is devastating news."
Anyone with information is asked to contact the force on 0800 230 0600 or Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555 111.
