The incident happened outside the Colliers Arms in Penywaun, Aberdare, Rhondda Cynon Taf, at about 01:10 BST, on Sunday.

Keyron Curtis, from Cwmdare, "was to become a father in a few weeks and would have been a great dad," his family said in a statement.

A 24-year-old man from Penywaun has been arrested on suspicion of murder.

Mr Curtis's family said: "Keyron was a friendly, easy-going family boy with a heart of gold. He was loved by us all, and always put other people before himself.

"He will be sorely missed by all of his family and friends".
