Trainee supermarket manager Adam Ellison died hours after the attack

Two 17-year-old boys have been arrested on suspicion of murdering a man who was stabbed in the neck after a row with motorbike riders.

Trainee supermarket manager Adam Ellison died in hospital hours after the attack in Market Street, Prescot, Merseyside, on 4 November 2017.

The 29-year-old had been on a night out with three cousins and a friend.

A 22-year-old man, of Huyton, was also arrested for theft of a motor vehicle in connection with the murder.

The two youths, who are both also from Huyton, have now been released under investigation, said police.

After the stabbing, the offenders fled on the motorbike in the direction of a Tesco store.

Mr Ellison's partner Rebecca Cunliffe said they planned to get married and he was saving for an engagement ring at the time.
