A man has been arrested in Stratford on suspicion of murder after a fatal stabbing in Plymouth.

Shane Jamie Sweet, 36, died at the scene of the stabbing on Monday (November 4). His next of kin have been informed.

A 20-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of murder by police in Stratford three days later on Thursday evening.

He remains in custody at Exeter police station, while others who were arrested in connection to the murder investigation last week have been released from custody.

Devon and Cornwall Detective Chief Inspector Steve Fleetwood said: “I understand that a serious incident of this nature will cause concern within the community.

“I can confirm that this is being treated as an isolated incident.

“The local community will continue to see a high visibility policing presence in the area over the coming days as officers seek to provide reassurance and assist with any concerns.”
