A second man has been arrested on suspicion of murder after a 20-year-old man was stabbed in Nottingham.

Nottinghamshire Police said officers found Marley Gascoine critically injured after being called to Abbotsford Drive in St Ann's at about 12:50 GMT on Monday.

Despite being treated by paramedics, he died a short time later, with a post-mortem examination finding he died from a single stab wound to the chest, the force added.
