An arrest has been made following a serious incident involving three men at a Brighton address.
At around 2.10am on Sunday, 26 April, emergency services responded to reports of a fight taking place inside a property in Regency Square.
Inside, two men were found with stab injuries. One man, in his 30s, was taken to hospital in a serious condition.
The second man, aged 37, was sadly pronounced deceased at the scene a short while later. His next of kin have been informed, and our thoughts are with them at this time.
At a nearby location, officers arrested a 26-year-old man, of no fixed address, on suspicion of murder, grievous bodily harm with intent, and possession of a Class A drug with intent to supply.
He remains in custody at the time of writing.
Brighton Chief Superintendent, Adam Hays, said; "This incident has had devastating consequences, resulting in the loss of one man’s life and leaving another with serious injuries.
"There is not believed to be a wider risk to the public, and a thorough investigation is underway to establish the full circumstances.
"As this continues, there will be an increased police presence in and around Regency Square.
"We are committed to robustly tackling knife crime and will take swift and decisive action against those involved in violent offending in Brighton."
Witnesses, or those who may have relevant footage or information, are urged to come forward and make a report. You can do this online, or by calling 101, quoting Operation Wenthill.
