A murder investigation is underway after a man suffered a fatal stab wound in Coventry last night.
We were called following disorder outside Foleshill Library on Broad Street at around 9.40pm.
An 18-year-old man was found with serious injuries. He was taken to hospital where he later passed away. Our thoughts are with his loved ones at this devastating time.
A second man was found outside Dixy Chicken on Foleshill Road with several slash wounds to his hand and arm.
