Three people have been arrested in a murder investigation after a man was stabbed in Leicester.

Police were called on Thursday to Gipsy Road, where a man was found injured and declared dead soon afterwards.

A 43-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of murder.

Leicestershire Police said a 66-year-old man and 64-year old woman have also been arrested on suspicion of assisting an offender.

Det Ch Insp Mark Sinski, from the East Midlands Special Operations Unit's major crime team, said: "We are continuing to establish the circumstances that led to the man's death.
