What started as a normal night out in Oldham became something far more devastating — a moment that would alter one family’s life forever
Murder investigation launched two years after ‘loving husband and dad’ attacked during Oldham night out
Father-of-four Ramon Logan was left in a critical condition after going out to celebrate the Euros final in 2024. Now he has tragically passed away.
A murder investigation has now been launched two years after a ‘loving husband and dad’ was attacked in Oldham. Father-of-four Ramon Logan was left in a critical condition after the incident which erupted after he went out to celebrate the Euros final in 2024.
His attacker, Sebastian Jones, was later jailed following the violent assault in Oldham town centre. Jones, 38, launched into the assault at around 4am on July 15 2024. Footage captured the moment Jones left a nightclub, before heading towards Ramon and punching him.
The force from the attack caused the victim to fall to the ground, where Jones continued to assault him. Members of the public called police out to the scene on Yorkshire Street, who discovered the Ramon on the floor with serious injuries to his head. He was rushed to hospital in a critical condition.
Jones evaded police for a week and a manhunt was launched, before he was arrested in Bury and charged with S18 assault. Following a three-day trial, Jones, of Dickens Street in Oldham was found guilty and jailed for seven years.

A Home Office post-mortem has taken place and further reviews are being conducted to determine the cause of death, Greater Manchester Police said.
In a heartbreaking 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.”
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.”
