Appeal following City bar murder
Police have appealed for witnesses to come forward following the murder of a 21-year-old man at a bar in London's financial district on Friday.
Lee Cook, a barrister's clerk from Harold Wood, Essex, was with friends at the Alibi bar on Shoe Lane in the City when he was involved in an incident with another group around 10:45pm on Friday night.
It is believed that Mr Cook was hit at least three times during the incident.

No weapon has been recovered so far and a post-mortem examination was due to be carried out on Tuesday.
Two people are currently being questioned and inquiries are continuing.
Detective Superintendent Tony Crampton said: "We have already spoken to a number of people who were in the Alibi bar on Friday evening. There were almost 200 people in the bar at the time of the incident and I would appeal to those who have not yet spoken to us to get in touch as soon as possible."
