Tributes have been paid to a "gentle giant", who was named locally after being attacked on a street in Edinburgh.
Liam Maloney, 30, died after he was seriously assaulted on Niddrie Marischal Road in the south-east of the capital at around 8pm on Thursday, May 5.
Emergency services raced to the road, at its junction with Niddrie Marischal Grove, and Liam was rushed to the Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh for treatment.
Tragically, the dad-of-three died from his injuries on Saturday.
Police Scotland have confirmed that they are treating the death as murder, and have launched an investigation.
Liam's family and friends have been left devastated by the news and tributes have flooded in.
Posting a picture of Liam as a toddler, Nicola Russell said: “R.I.P Liam you will be sadly missed. You were such a lovely guy with a big heart and always full of fun. I’ll never forget that.
“Thinking of all the family and the three boys.”
Adele Commons said: “Such a sad day for Niddrie today. Thinking about his boys and all the family who have already been through so much. RIP Liam x”
Leanne Mclaren: “It’s taken all day, Niddrie has lost another one. Liam you’re one funny guy and will be missed by all that knew you.”
Sharing some funny memories of his time with his old pal, Liam Anderson said: “Turned up at my old mans funeral wearing a full tracksuit, the biggest angriest looking dug you will ever see, and that trademark daft smile on his face and a pocket full of goodies.
“Liam Maloney was one of a kind. Sleep well brother.”
Nicole Bridgman said: “Rest in peace Liam Maloney, another life taken far to soon. Always had a smile across your face and could put a smile on others with your carry on. Thinking of your beautiful three boys.”
