Police investigating the fatal stabbing of a 17-year-old boy have made a second arrest.

Courtney Eaton died following an argument near a petrol station forecourt in Salford, Greater Manchester, on Friday night.

An 18-year-old man from Eccles has been arrested on suspicion of murder and is being interviewed by detectives.

A 17-year-old boy from Peel Green held in connection with the death on Saturday was released on bail pending further inquiries.

Officers were called to the scene near the Texaco petrol station in New Lane, Winton, shortly after 11pm. They found the teenager slumped on the pavement with a single stab wound to the stomach.

Courtney, from Verdun Road, Winton, was taken to Hope Hospital where he died a short time later.
