An off-duty police officer has died after an assault in Liverpool in the early hours of the morning after a Christmas night out with colleagues, Sky News reported on Friday.
Merseyside Police said they responded at around 3.15am to reports that three men had been attacked near a city centre nightclub.
All three were taken to hospital, where PC Neil Doyle died a short time later.
The 36-year-old had married his wife Sarah five months ago and the couple were due to go on their honeymoon in January.
The other two men, who were being treated for facial injuries before being discharged from hospital, are also police officers.
The attack happened on Colquitt Street, near the Aloha Club.
Police have launched a murder investigation and the scene has been cordoned off while forensic examinations take place.
