A 16-year-old boy has been arrested on suspicion of murder almost a year after a teenager was stabbed to death.

Six other teenagers have previously been arrested in connection with the death and have been released pending further investigations.

Det Ch Insp Chris Mallett, from the force's homicide unit, said: "This is a further significant development in our investigation. We continue to work on a number of leads and I am extremely grateful to everyone who has provided us with information.

"The investigation into Keelan's tragic death remains ongoing and we are determined to bring his killer or killers to justice.
