Connor Dockerty was found with stab wounds in Huyton on Monday night

A 14-year-old boy is among four teenagers arrested on suspicion of murder after a man was stabbed to death.

Connor Dockerty, 23, died after he was found with stab wounds to his chest in Huyton, Merseyside, on Monday night.

Two boys and a girl, all aged 15, were arrested earlier along with the boy and were being questioned by detectives, Merseyside Police said.

Police believe Mr Dockerty had been cycling before the attack in Kingsway.

A post-mortem examination revealed the 23-year-old, from Litherland, died from stab wounds.

Police said his next of kin had been informed and were being supported.

Det Ch Insp Siobhan Gainer asked anyone with dashcam footage or video from the Kingsway or Liverpool Road area from about 20:00 BST on Monday night to contact the force.
