Boy, 14, arrested on suspicion of murder

A SCHOOLBOY has been arrested on suspicion of murder today following the death of a man.

The 29-year-old man was assaulted during a late evening fracas with a group of males.

He then left the scene in a taxi, but after seven miles into the journey he had a medical episode and an ambulance was called.

Paramedics treated him at the scene at Gibbwin, Great Linford, Bucks., and he was taken to hospital, where he died an hour later.
