A murder investigation has been launched after an 18-year-old man was found dead in a city centre square.

Police were called to Guildhall Square, Portsmouth, at 23:00 BST on Saturday.

Three boys aged 15, 16 and 17 years old were initially arrested on suspicion of murder - but they have since been released with no further action.

Hampshire Constabulary said they understood the man's death would be "concerning" for residents and officers would remain at the site on Sunday.

Anyone with information has been urged to contact the police.
