A tragic and shocking murder unfolded at the Blues Cabaret in Ashton-under-Lyne early Saturday morning, leaving 31-year-old father Shane Cullen dead after a brutal attack. His family described him as a gentle, loving giant with a big heart and infectious humor. A 36-year-old man has been arrested in connection with the crime, and police are urging anyone with information to come forward.
