'Brutal' attack on stab death man | |
(about 2 hours later) | |
A teenager who was found stabbed to death outside a house in Liverpool was the victim of a brutal and targeted attack, police said. | |
Tony Bromley, 18, of Anfield, was found outside the property in Sprucewood Close, Tuebrook, on Saturday morning. | |
A post-mortem examination revealed he died from multiple stab wounds. | |
Police said the teenager had been out drinking with friends before the attack. They have appealed for anyone with information to contact them. | |
Ch Supt Steve Watson, who is leading the investigation, said: "We believe Tony had been out drinking with friends in the area earlier in the evening and would appeal to anyone who was with Tony, or who saw him and his friends to contact us, as they could have information which could be vital to the investigation. | |
Family 'devastated' | |
"At this moment in time we do not know the motive for the attack, but we do believe the victim was targeted and we are following up a number of lines of inquiry to establish the motive. | |
"This was a deliberate and particularly brutal attack on a young man, which has devastated his family. | |
The scene remained cordoned off on Sunday | |
"I would reassure the community that our investigations will be thorough and will continue until we bring those responsible before the courts." | |
Police particularly want to speak to anyone seen acting suspiciously on Breck Road and Belmont Road before or after the murder, which happened just before 0130 GMT. | |
The area remained cordoned off on Sunday while forensic examinations took place. | |
Merseyside Police officers have been conducting house-to-house inquiries over the weekend. | |
Officers are also speaking to licensees in the area and examining CCTV footage. |
