We continue to appeal for information after a man was fatally stabbed in West Derby in the early hours of this morning, Tuesday 15 October.
At around 1.40am, emergency services were called to an address on Muirhead Avenue to reports that a 47-year-old man had been injured.
The victim was taken to hospital with a puncture wound, but he was sadly pronounced deceased.
His next of kin have been informed and are being supported by specialist officers.
As part of the early stages of the investigation, three people have all been arrested on suspicion of murder. They are:
A 24-year-old woman from Anfield
A 49-year-old woman from West Derby
A 38-year-old woman from Litherland
All three have been taken to police stations for questioning.
Detective Chief Inspector Steve McGrath said: “An investigation into this tragic incident is still in the early stages and as part of initial inquiries we have arrested three people. We are looking to establish the circumstances and I would discourage anyone from speculating while this work is being carried out.
“Although we have made these arrests, we are still appealing for information and if you can help our investigation, please come forward as a matter of urgency. If you live in the area and have CCTV footage, please check to see if you captured anything, even if it appears minor, as it could assist our inquiries. This is a busy road so if you were driving past at around the time of the incident, please review your dashcam footage and let us know if you see anything.
“Our thoughts and condolences remain with the man's family at this time. We understand the concern that this incident will have caused in the community, and extra officers are in the area to carry out inquiries and speak to residents.”
