Four men arrested in connection with the murder of a 38-year-old man on the outskirts of Norwich have been bailed until next year, police have confirmed.
Three men in their 40s and one man in his 20s were arrested by police after the body of Matthew Griggs was found on Church Lane, Sprowston at around 7.45am on September 23 last year.
A murder investigation was launched after a post-mortem examination revealed he had received blunt force trauma to his chest.
A spokesman for Norfolk Constabulary confirmed "enquiries are ongoing" with the four men arrested remaining on police bail until March 31 next year.
Earlier this year Mr Grigg's family issued a tribute to the son, brother, uncle, nephew and boyfriend who would be "sorely missed by all".
His family said they "still can't believe that he's no longer with us".
They said Mr Griggs, who did not have any children, was born in Norwich in 1985 and lived in Sprowston until the late 1990s when the family moved to Ely.
He later worked in several pubs, hotels and restaurants across the region.
He was a passionate Norwich City supporter and followed the club home and away, including a memorable trip to see the Canaries lose in the play-off final at the Millennium Stadium in 2002.
He was also a "very good cook", they said.
Mr Griggs was found by his partner, who then sought the assistance of dog walkers, who in turn called the ambulance service.
Police believe Mr Griggs was involved in two altercations prior to his death with the first in Ketts Hill at about 7.40am on September 19.
