Huyton murder: Video from the scene and what we know so far
Video from the scene:
Police remain in Huyton this morning after a man was knifed to death last night.
Emergency services rushed to Kingsway, Huyton, at 8pm to reports a man had been stabbed repeatedly in the chest.
He was taken to hospital but a spokeswoman for the force confirmed his death in a statement released last night.
A murder investigation is now underway.
A cordon is in place close to the Oak Tree pub as Kingsway remains closed off.
An investigation is now underway and a number of lines of enquiry are being pursued. CCTV, house-to-house and forensic enquiries are also being carried out, with high visibility police patrols in the local area.
Detective Inspector Jennie Beck said: “This is a tragic incident which has sadly led to yet another victim of knife crime on the streets of Merseyside over the last few days.
“We’re determined to find whoever was responsible as soon as possible and bring them to justice. We are keen to speak to anyone who was in the area of Kingsway, Runnymede Road and Liverpool Road around 8pm and saw, heard or captured anything – be it descriptions of those involved, CCTV, dashcam or other images.
“These details could be vital to our investigation. What has happened tonight has proven once again how knife crime causes devastation in our communities – this time with fatal consequences. We’ll be in the area tonight speaking to local residents, so tell us what you know and we will do the rest.”
Anyone with information is asked to DM @MerPolCC on Twitter, call 101, or call Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 quoting log 1004 of 19 April.
