A sixth man has been arrested in connection with the death of a man in Greenock.
Neil Canney, 37, was found seriously injured on the doorstep of his home in Nairn Road in the Inverclyde town at around 1.15am on February 28.
He was taken by ambulance to the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital in Glasgow but he died a short time later.
Police said a 24-year-old man has now been arrested in connection with the death.
Investigations are ongoing and a report will be sent to the procurator fiscal.
