Two murder arrests after man killed in stabbing

Two people have been arrested on suspicion of murder after a man died following a stabbing in a village.

Hampshire and Isle of Wight Constabulary said the man was found injured in Station Road, Netley, on Wednesday shortly before 18:30 GMT.

He was pronounced dead at the scene.

An 18-year-old man, from Southampton, and a 15-year-old boy, from Netley, have both been arrested and remain in police custody.

A police cordon is in place in Station Road, near the entrance to the recreational ground.

Insp Steve Goodall, from Hampshire police, said: "Our teams and officers have been working tirelessly, around the clock, since this report was first made to us.

"Thanks to their hard work, as well as the support of our communities, the investigation has progressed at a pace, and we have this morning made two arrests.

"I fully understand the significant concern that an incident such as this one will have caused within the wider community, and beyond.

"But, I hope the rapid developments in our investigation will offer you all reassurance that we are extremely determined in our investigation, and are working very hard to establish the full circumstances surrounding this incident."

The force is appealing for witnesses and anyone with dashcam, doorbell camera, mobile phone, or any other CCTV footage to come forward.
