Murder investigation launched following death of man seriously injured in assault in 2024

The family of a man who has died two years after suffering a serious assault have paid tribute to him – with officers now launching a murder investigation.

Ramon Logan was left seriously injured following the assault in Oldham in July 2024, resulting in life-changing injuries. A man was jailed last year for the attack following a three-day trial at Manchester Crown Court which concluded in January 2025.

Sadly, Ramon died on June 30, aged 42. Following this and further enquiries that have been carried out, officers have now launched a murder investigation. No arrests have yet been made following the launch of the murder investigation.

A Home Office post-mortem has taken place, and further reviews are being conducted to determine the cause of death. 

Ramon’s wife, Charlotte, has now paid tribute to him. 

She said: “It is with a broken heart I announce the passing of my beautiful husband, Ray Logan, on 30th June. 

“Ray was a loving husband, father, son, brother, and friend to many, and will be missed immensely by everyone who knew him.  

“Ray was a part of so many people’s lives, and as much as we all have our existing memories to remember him by, it is heart-breaking that we won’t get to make any new ones. 

“Ray never stopped fighting to get better for the last two years, all we can wish for now is that he gets the justice he deserves.” 

Detective Inspector Andy Day, from GMP’s Oldham district, said: “We know how difficult and painful the last two years have been for Ramon’s family, and we are continuing to support them following his death last week. 

“We have now launched a murder investigation, and are keeping his family updated as we progress our enquiries. We are assessing all available material and will be making further reviews in due course.”
