Two arrested over teenager's murder
A man and a woman have been arrested in connection with the fatal stabbing of a teenager in Blackpool.
Sam Brown, 16, was stabbed outside his home in Cockerham Walk on Monday. Neighbours attempted to save him but he had died by the time paramedics arrived. He suffered a single stab wound to the chest.
A 28-year-old man was also stabbed during the same incident. He remains in a stable condition in Blackpool Victoria Hospital and his injuries are not believed to be life threatening.
Sam had been due to sit his English GCSE exam with classmates at St Mary's Catholic College today. He had finished school last week and taken a part-time job in a supermarket. He had been hoping to train as a plumber.
Detective Superintendent Graham Gardner said: "This is a complex inquiry. The full story about what happened in the early hours of Monday on the Grange Park estate is yet to emerge.
"A number of people have been arrested but I expect they will only be part of the jigsaw.
"I am convinced the answer to this terrible murder lies on the estate itself."
Anyone with any information is asked to contact police on: 01253 293933.
