Investigators are studying images from security cameras in the area in the search for the driver and in seeking to establish if this was the same person who had caused the other injuries. These indicate that there had been a confrontation at some point.

The Irishman was on holiday with his wife and two children; he had tattoos with their names. He was wearing a hotel wristband, which enabled police to locate the family. Psychologists were called to the hotel to give them support.
