Carlo Giannini died from a stab wound, police said

An 18-year-old man and a 17-year-old boy have been arrested on suspicion of murdering a man found stabbed to death in a city park.

Italian national Carlo Giannini's body was found in Sheffield on 12 May.

The 34-year-old was last seen on CCTV entering Manor Fields Park at about 23:05 BST the previous night.

The 18-year-old was arrested on Wednesday and has since been bailed. The 17-year-old arrested on Thursday remained in custody, police said.

A post-mortem examination confirmed Mr Giannini had died from a stab wound, according to South Yorkshire Police.

The force has released CCTV images taken close to the site where his body was found, believed to have been recorded in the lead-up to the fatal attack.
