Man arrested after fatal stabbing

A 45-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of murder after a man was stabbed to death outside a house in Merseyside.

The 38-year-old man had been in a house on Birkenhead Road, in Seacombe, when a fight broke out, at about 1700 GMT on Friday evening.

The fight spilled out on to the street where he suffered the fatal injury. He died later at Arrowe Park Hospital.

Merseyside Police said the murder suspect was from the Wallasey area.

Forensic examinations are being carried out at the scene and house-to-house inquiries have begun.

Police said CCTV would be examined to try and establish what had happened and high visibility patrols had been stepped up in the area to reassure the community.

A post-mortem examination is expected to be carried out later.

Anyone with information should contact Merseyside Police or Crimestoppers.
