Manor Fields Park: Teenage boy suspected of Carlo Giannini murder as police make second arrest

Detectives investigating the death, after Mr Giannini’s body was found in Manor Fields Park, on City Road, last week, have today made what is the second arrest in the case.

Mr Giannini, aged 34, was originally from Italy but had moved to Sheffield, and a post mortem examination found he died from a stab wound. His family are being supported by specialist officers.

Officers launched a murder investigation last week.

A South Yorkshire Police spokesman said today: “A 17-year-old boy from Sheffield has today (Thursday 19 May) been arrested on suspicion of murder. He remains in police custody at this time.

“This arrest is the second made in the investigation. Yesterday (Wednesday May 18), officers arrested an 18-year-old man from Sheffield on a suspicion of a number of offences. One of these is murder. He has been bailed.
