A seventh man has been arrested in connection to the suspected murder of a father.

Police investigations are ongoing into the death of Michael McDonagh at a holiday park in Camber Sands.

The 58-year-old from London died at the Parkdean resort on Lydd Road, near the East Sussex border with Romney Marsh.

Guests at the park, popular with Kent holidaymakers, reported seeing a man tackled to the ground after an argument broke out following the end of Crystal Palace vs Arsenal in the opening match of the Premier League season.

Sussex Police and forensics officers were called to the scene and arrested six people on suspicion of murder.

The investigation – codenamed Operation Molton – is ongoing, and a seventh person has now been arrested on suspicion of murder and remains in custody.

The other suspects have been released on conditional bail.

Mr McDonagh's death sparked an outpouring of grief, with friends and family taking to social media to pay tribute.

One family member posted: "Our hearts are broken. You will forever be in our hearts - gone but not forgotten.

"My heart goes out to his lovely wife and children. Please god watch over them."

Another wrote: "Uncle Michael, you didn't deserve this. How can the world be so cruel. You will never be forgotten."

Parkdean, which runs the resort, told people at the site a "serious incident" had taken place and a "live police investigation" was active.

"My condolences go out to Michael's family"

The message, which was sent out to customers, said: “We would like to make you aware that last night a serious incident occurred within our complex area.

"As this is a live police investigation our team is doing everything they can to assist their enquiries.

"Please be aware they cannot comment on this incident."

Sussex Police Detective Chief Inspector Emma Vickers said: “My condolences go out to Michael’s family following Friday night’s tragic events.

“A complex and fast-moving investigation is underway to establish precisely what happened and identify those responsible.

“I understand incidents such as these can have a profound impact on the wider community and I would like to offer my assurances that this was an isolated incident and we are working tirelessly to find out the full circumstances."

Anybody who witnessed the incident or has any information which could help with the investigation is asked to contact police online via the Sussex Police website, or by calling 101, quoting Operation Molton.
