| Murder arrest over stabbing of boy, 16, in Liverpool | |
| (about 2 hours later) | |
| A 17-year-old boy has been arrested on suspicion of murder over the fatal stabbing of a teenager in Liverpool. | |
| Merseyside Police said a 16-year-old boy was found with stab injuries on Belle Vale Road, Gateacre, at about 21:00 BST on Tuesday. | |
| He was taken to hospital, where he was pronounced dead at about midnight. | |
| Det Ch Supt Chris Green said police wanted to speak to witnesses, including "a male and female who we believe administered first aid to the victim". | |
| Local resident Darcy Hartley, 74, said she heard raised voices outside at about 21:00. | |
| "It sounded like a large group of boys, then a lot of police turned up," she said. | |
| Another local, who did not want to be named, said they "went out and had a look and could see the lad being treated by paramedics just over the road". | |
| "It's terrible, it seems to be getting worse. Life is cheap these days, with people carrying knives around," they added. | |
| Det Ch Supt Green also appealed for anyone with dashcam footage from around the time of the attack to come forward. | |
| A cordon is in place in the area while forensic and house-to-house inquiries take place. |
