He also revealed that a 'vehicle of interest' has also been recovered as part of the investigation and is being forensically examined.

A team of 30-40 detectives is still working on the case.

Detectives said Jarvin and a friend were chased before they were stabbed by a group of people who pulled up alongside them in a car.

Both men were rushed to hospital but Jarvin, from Gleadless, could not be saved.
