Detective Chief Inspector Andrew Butterworth, of GMP’s Major Incident Team, said: "It’s horrific to think that a young man has lost his life in such brutal circumstances.
"My heart really goes out to Cole’s family and I want to assure them and the wider community that we will leave no stone unturned in this investigation.
"Whilst we have made significant progress, with four people being arrested, it’s vitally important that anyone with information gets in touch with us as a matter of urgency. Please think of Cole’s loved ones and do the right thing and come forward - we need to get them justice."
Cole's friends and family were left devastated in the wake of the tragedy.
Many visited the scene to lay tributes. Among the tearful mourners was 17-year-old Patrick - Cole's brother.
Paying tribute to his siling, he said: "He was a party animal, an absolute legend.
“He wasn’t involved in anything bad. He loved his boxing and was earning a trade as an apprentice scaffolder.”
