Edward Pettifer, 31, from Chelsea, west London, was one of 14 people killed when a car was driven into a crowd on the city's famous Bourbon Street in the early hours of New Year's Day.

Louisiana Rep Troy Carter said: "There is an ongoing investigation which limits our ability to talk much more than that, other than to clearly say that this coward did not act alone, and our
