Four arrests have been made so far as part of the murder probe, with an 18-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of attempted murder and three boys - two aged 17 and one aged 16 - were arrested on suspicion of conspiracy to rob.

Chief Supt Stuart Barton, district commander for Sheffield, said detectives believed there were people in the street at the time of attack.

He said they raced to the scene and carried out first aid and Kavan was taken to Northern General Hospital, where he died four days later.

The officer said: 'At around the time there was a lot of other people in the street and we believe there will be people who saw what happened and know the person responsible.
