Force Major Investigation Team, said: “Firstly, I wish to express my deepest condolences to the man’s family and friends. This is an utterly tragic and heart-breaking incident and my thoughts are with them at this very difficult time.
“We now have six people are in custody and we have a dedicated team of detectives working across a number of enquiries. “I would urge any witnesses, who have yet to speak to police, to come forward and tell us what they know. “This is the second fatal stabbing in Preston in the last month and I understand that people in the local community may be concerned. These two offences are not linked but the outcome is that two families in Preston have now been left devastated by the impact of knife crime. I would urge to anyone thinking about carrying a knife to seriously consider the consequences – you could end up jailed, injured or killed.
“Local residents will see an increase in patrols in the area and should you have concerns or any information, then please approach our officers who will be on hand to help.”Alternatively independent charity Crimestoppers can be contacted on 0800 555 111.
