Tragedy as man dies after night stabbing today in Nuneaton

A young man has died after being stabbed in Nuneaton town centre. Police said this morning, Tuesday,Nov 26, said that a man in his 20s was stabbed in Queens Road.

He was treated at the scene and then taken to hospital. But he later died as a result of his injuries.

A large part of Queens Road, from Iceland up to near WH Smith, remains cordoned off as detectives have launched a murder investigation. They say that witnesses in the area at around 4.30AM this morning will be key to their probe.

Senior investigating officer, Detective Chief Inspector Katie Reynolds said: “Following this tragic incident, a murder investigation is now under way and our thoughts remain with the man’s family at this difficult time, who are being supported by specially trained officers.

“We recognise the concern this will cause in the local community and want to reassure the public that, while no arrests have been made, investigations are ongoing to establish the circumstances surrounding this incident, and our officers are working hard to identify who is responsible.

“I would urge anyone who was in the vicinity of Queens Road between 9pm and 9.30pm last night who may have witnessed the incident, seen something suspicious or has information that could help with our investigation, to please get in touch. There will continue to be a heightened police presence in the area while our officers carry out their enquiries and a large police cordon remains in place in and around Queens Road which is likely to cause some disruption, so I’d like to thank local people and businesses for their cooperation and patience.”
