Early results suggest Ezekiel Williams died from a head injury.
Early post mortem examination results have found a non-league footballer died from a head injury following a suspected assault in Milton Keynes.
Ezekiel Williams, 26, from London, who played for Hendon FC and had previously played for other non-league sides such as Kettering FC and Marlow FC, died in hospital on Monday following injuries he suffered in Midsummer Boulevard early on Sunday 1 November.
A Home Office post mortem examination took place on Thursday, with the preliminary cause determined as a head injury.
Senior investigating officer Detective Inspector Rob Underhill, from the Major Crime Unit, said: “We are continuing to support the family of Ezekiel, and our thoughts remain with them, and all of Ezekiels close circle of friends.
“It is clear from tributes that have been paid that he was a hugely respected and loved person, and we are determined to ascertain the circumstances around his death.
“We have made three arrests in connection with this investigation.
“A 21-year-old and a 28-year-old man, both from Luton, were arrested on suspicion of murder and remain in police custody.
“A 30-year-old man, also from Luton, who was arrested on suspicion of assisting an offender, has been released on conditional court bail.
“I am today appealing again for any witnesses who may not yet have spoken to police to please get in touch with us.
“We have been reviewing CCTV and evidential material from the incident but are keen to speak to anybody who witnessed the incident, which occurred shortly before 2am on Sunday morning.
“Did you witness any altercation, particularly around the area of The Hub in Midsummer Boulevard. Did you capture anything on mobile phones or dashcam? If so, and you have not contacted us, I would urge you to please do so.”
