A 40-year-old woman who was arrested on Thursday night in relation to the matter has been released unconditionally. A 23-year-old man held over the matter has been released on bail pending further police inquiries.
Police Service of Northern Ireland Detective Chief Inspector Eamonn Corrigan said Mr Zait died from serious head injuries sustained during a "brutal and senseless attack" in daylight hours.
Officers are appealing for any witnesses, anyone with dashcam footage or anyone with any information to contact them. –PA
