In a statement from Greater Manchester Police at the time of Mr Gavin's death, police said:
“We believe the fight lasted for around 20 minutes before the call came into police and at some point David was stabbed."
Mr Gavin, a father-of-one, was killed just three weeks before his wife gave birth to the couple's second daughter.
Speaking to the Manchester Evening news, Mr Gavin's wife Bridget spoke of her devastation at losing her husband.
"I am just traumatised. It is more than devastating" she said.
"It is just incredibly difficult because every time I look at [the couple's daughter] I cry because I can see him so much.
"Every plan I had for the future was with him - and now that's been taken away from me.
"I can't even really put into words how I am feeling.
