Two men arrested on suspicion of murdering a teenager have been bailed by police.

A third man, 35, has also been released without charge.

A fourth suspect, an 18-year-old, remains in police custody.

Police were called to a fight involving a group of men in Freeman Road North, next to Humberstone Park, at about 19:50 GMT on Tuesday where they found the injured boy.

The body of the teenager is still to be formally identified.

Officers have finished their forensic investigations at a house in Broad Avenue.

Tributes and flowers have been left close to the scene of the incident and friends on social media expressed sadness at his death.
