Owen Dunn's family thanked the community for its support following his death

Detectives continue to question a 14-year-old boy on suspicion of murder after a stabbing in Swindon.

Owen Dunn, 18, was attacked on Mazurek Way, Haydon, at about 13:30 GMT on Sunday.

The 14-year-old suspect and a 20-year-old man were arrested later the same day - the older suspect has since been released under investigation.

Fundraising to help pay for the victim's funeral costs has so far raised more than £8,500.

Mr Dunn's family said earlier: "We are grateful for all the support, kind words and donations we have received."

"We recognise this will have had a huge impact on the local community and we are heartened by the large number of people who are coming forward with information to help with our enquiries.

"Please do get in touch, even the most seemingly insignificant piece of information can sometimes be a vital element in our investigation."
