POLICE have revealed a clubber who was fatally injured at an Ipswich nightclub died of a gunshot wound - and not from a stab wound as first thought.
POLICE have revealed a clubber who was fatally injured at an Ipswich nightclub died of a gunshot wound - and not from a stab wound as first thought.
Jimoh Plunkett, from south London, was found lying on the ground outside the Zest club in Princes Street at about 2.15am on Saturday. He was taken to Ipswich Hospital, where he later died.
Police first thought the 24-year-old had suffered a single stab wound to the chest but today they revealed he was shot.
Three other men were also shot inside Zest on the same night. One suffered injuries to his shoulder, backside and leg, another suffered a leg injury while the third suffered a gun shot wound to the hand.
A fourth man suffered minor stab wounds in the attacks. All the injured men are believed to be from London.
The club was shut after the incidents and clubbers were kept behind and interviewed about what they saw. A handgun hidden in a bag was found in a car park at the rear of the club.
A large area of the town centre was cordoned off throughout the weekend as officers conducted finger-tip searches in their hunt for clues.
Suffolk police revealed this afternoon they had successfully applied for a closure order on the club, which will be reviewed by the licensing authorities within 28 days.
Officers investigating the killing and the other shootings have appealed for anyone inside Zest at the time of the attacks to call them on 01473 613500.
