Leicestershire Police arrested an 18-year-old man on suspicion of murder after a De Montfort University student was fatally stabbed Tuesday. Officers rushed to Oxford Street just after 17:00, where the victim in his 20s collapsed following an altercation. He died at Leicester Royal Infirmary. This follows a separate January incident where a 16-year-old was arrested for attempted murder after a 19-year-old was stabbed on Granby Street.
