Three more arrests have been made as part of the investigation into the death of a 16-year-old boy in Bath yesterday (Saturday 10 June).
Two 15-year-old boys and a 16-year-old boy have been arrested on suspicion of murdering the teenager at an address on Eastfield Avenue in the Weston area of the city at around 11pm.
They are currently being held in police custody and will soon be interviewed by officers.

“Specialist liaison officers are now in place and have informed the boy’s parents of this latest development. Our thoughts continue to be with them at this sad time.”
