Detective Chief Inspector Jim Eastwood said: "Our thoughts remain with Trei’s family. Our specialist officers will support them in any way they can following their terrible loss.
"Our enquiries are continuing at pace and my team are making good progress with this arrest, but as always we remain keen to hear from members of the public who have information that could help us...
"This area was still busy at around 4am to 4.30am on Saturday morning. Were you there? Did you witness some sort of fight or confrontation? Did you see or hear anything suspicious?
"Officers have already spoken with a number of people who were in the area, and I am grateful for their assistance.
"But there will be others who saw or heard something, and I need those people to come forward and speak with detectives."
