A murder investigation has been launched two years after a father-of-four was brutally attacked in Oldham. Ramon Logan, 42, died on June 30, 2026, following an assault that occurred on July 15, 2024, when he went out to celebrate the Euros final.
Attack and Initial Conviction
Sebastian Jones, 38, attacked Ramon Logan at around 4am on July 15, 2024, in Oldham town centre. CCTV footage showed Jones leaving a nightclub before approaching Logan and striking him. The blow caused Logan to collapse, and Jones continued the assault. Members of the public alerted police to the scene on Yorkshire Street, where officers found Logan with severe head injuries. He was rushed to hospital in a critical condition.
Jones evaded capture for a week before being arrested in Bury and charged with Section 18 assault. Following a three-day trial, Jones, of Dickens Street, Oldham, was found guilty and sentenced to seven years in prison.
Victim's Death and Murder Investigation
Greater Manchester Police confirmed that Ramon Logan, known to loved ones as 'Ray', passed away on June 30, 2026. A post-mortem examination has been carried out by the Home Office, with additional reviews underway to establish the cause of death. The case has been reopened as a murder investigation, though no arrests have been made yet.
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."
Family Tribute
In a devastating tribute, Ramon's wife Charlotte 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."
