Thames Valley Police have been given additional time to question two people arrested in connection with a fatal stabbing in Bletchley that left a 26-year-old man dead.
Detentions and scene preserved
Officers responded to reports of a stabbing on Brooklands Road at about 23:20 BST on Thursday. A 26-year-old man died at the scene and has not yet been formally identified. A crime scene has been established on Brooklands Road and is expected to remain in place for some time while enquiries continue.
Thames Valley Police have been granted extra detention time for two people: a 16-year-old boy from Milton Keynes and a 36-year-old man from Aylesbury. A third person, a 25-year-old man from Milton Keynes, was arrested but later released with no further action.
Investigation described as "complex and fast-moving"
"We remain in the early stages of this complex and fast-moving murder investigation," said Detective Superintendent Jon Capps.
Detective Superintendent Jon Capps urged the public not to speculate about the case in order to avoid causing further distress to the victim’s family. The force said it is continuing to support the family while enquiries proceed.
