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 following the stabbing.

They have all been bailed as detectives continue to investigate. Detectives piecing together Kavan's final movements know he was with members of his family about an hour before he was stabbed.
