A 14-year-old child is one of the two people that have been arrested following a fatal stabbing in Swindon. 

Police were called to Mazurek Way, Haydon End at 1.30pm Sunday afternoon, where a man had been stabbed, with witnesses saying they saw two people dressed in black, wearing balaclavas and carrying large knives.

The force later confirmed that the victim, identified by his family as Owen Dunn, died despite the best efforts of emergency services to save him, sparking a murder investigation. 

In the latest update, police said that enquiries were continuing. 

It was also confirmed that two males - aged 14 and 20 - were arrested on suspicion of murder, and remain in police custody.

Owen's next of kin were informed late Sunday afternoon and have since started a GoFundMe page to help pay for his funeral costs, although formal identification has not yet taken place.

A post-mortem is due to be carried out in due course.

Detective Chief Inspector Phil Walker said: "Members of the public will see an increased police presence in the area over the coming days as we carry out our investigation.

"We would urge everyone to avoid speculation and making comments on social media regarding the victim - this will clearly add to the distress of his family.

"Anyone with information that can help with our enquiries please contact us on 101 quoting reference Operation Glendale.

A white forensic tent was set up shortly after the incident on Sunday and forensic officers wearing have been photographed searching the area 

The scene on the junction between Torun Way and Mazurek Close remains cordoned off through Monday morning to members of the public and it remains inaccessible to motorists turning off of Thamesdown drive. 

People have started laying floral tributes to Owen next to a tree just on the outside of the cordon. Tributes have also been paid to the Swindon teenager from friends and family on his Facebook page. 

It is not yet known when the area will be reopened but police have warned that there will be a large police presence across the whole of Swindon. 

“Members of the public will notice an increased police presence across the whole of Swindon in response to this incident. Please do not be alarmed by this and I would encourage you to speak with officers if you have information that will help our investigation," Inspector Walker added.
