Enquiries are ongoing into the circumstances surrounding the death of Jarvin Blake (pictured) who suffered fatal stab wounds when he was the victim of what is believed to be a targeted attack at just after 3pm on Thursday.

It was reported that a car pulled up on Catherine Street, at the junction with Brackley Street, and a group of people got out of the car shortly before the father-of-three was stabbed.

Leading the investigation Detective Chief Inspector Steve Handley said: “We would particularly like to hear from any parents or carers who may have been doing the school run on Catherine Street and the surrounding area on that day.

“Our officers will be in the Catherine Street area throughout today carrying out house-to-house enquiries as we work to pull together the exact circumstances surrounding Mr Blake’s death.

“There will be an increased police presence in the area but I can reassure members of the community that we are treating this as a targeted attack.
