More time for car park death quiz

Ryan Leigh Edwards died in hospital two days after the attack

Police have been given an extra 36 hours to question three men in connection with the death of a man attacked in a railway station car park.

Ryan Leigh Edwards, 20, of Bridgend, was attacked at the town's station on Friday and died later of his injuries.

The three men were arrested on suspicion of murder after Mr Edwards died in hospital on Sunday.

A police spokesman said magistrates in Bridgend granted the extra time to allow continued questioning of the men.

Mr Edwards' parents, Alan and Debbie Edwards, have said he was a "gentle giant " and a "much loved son, grandson, brother, cousin, and friend".

In a statement issued through South Wales Police, his parents said: "He was a fun, amazing, wonderful, and devoted son."

Police are appealing for information

They said their son had attended Cymer Afan Comprehensive School and then Neath College.

Police are appealing for witnesses to the lead-up to the fatal attack which happened at 2310 BST on Friday.

Officers also want to trace the driver of a red Toyota Yaris car parked in the car park at the time of the assault, and who may have been a witness.

Detectives said there may have been a number of altercations leading up to the attack, in which two other men were assaulted, one suffering serious facial injuries and the other minor injuries.

'Hoody top'

Officers believe there may have been an initial altercation involving two groups of men at Bar Inc, on Derwen Road, sometime between 1900 BST and 2300 BST.

They said a group of around seven men left the venue at just before 2300 BST, and were followed by another group of men to the railway station.

Speaking on Monday, Det Sup Paul Kemp said: "We would like to speak to anyone who may have witnessed the assault at the train station.

"In particular, I'm keen to trace two young men, one was wearing a 'hoody' top and the other was wearing a cap.

"We would also like to talk to a young male who was on a bicycle and who lent his mobile phone to the group of seven men."

The two other men who were assaulted have since been discharged from the town's Princess of Wales Hospital.

Anyone with information is asked to contact the incident room on 01656 306099 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555111.
