An 18-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of murder after a Winton man was stabbed to death on Monday evening.
He was pulled in for questioning on Thursday 1 September and remains in police custody.
He is the third teenager to be questioned by police after Wesley Lennon (formerly Wesley Barnard) was fatally wounded while trying to break up a street fight outside his cousin’s home on Cambrai Crescent in Winton.
A 16-year-old boy and a 19-year-old man arrested on suspicion of murder earlier this week have been bailed until 21 September.
Police are repeating their appeal for anyone with any information to come forward.
