Three more murder arrests after father's club death

Three more people have been arrested on suspicion of murder after a father-of-three was stabbed to death outside a social club in Manchester.

Adrian Brown, 34, was first attacked after going to an event at the West Indian Sports and Social Club in Moss Side on Friday at about 23:00 BST, and the assault continued on Raby Street.

Two men aged 17 and 18 were arrested on suspicion of murder in Hulme, while a third murder suspect, aged 18, was arrested at a property in Chorlton, Greater Manchester Police said.

The force had already arrested and bailed five people in connection with investigation.

The latest arrests came after police searched two homes earlier.

Det Insp Alex Wilkinson said about 200 people were in the club that evening, and officers believed those present "may have information that could help us piece together exactly what happened".

He said: "We understand that coming forward can feel daunting, but any information, no matter how small it may seem, could be vital to our investigation."

Adrian Brown, known as Dre, was assaulted outside the front entrance to the social club before the attack continued on Raby Street, where he was found with chest wounds and taken to hospital, police said.

Anyone with any footage of the attack has been urged to contact the force.
