Murder Probe Underway After Shocking Briar Hill Attack
The fatal stabbing happened around 3.30pm in the Briar Hill area. A second victim, a 17-year-old, remains in the hospital with life-threatening injuries. Dozens of officers are working around the clock on this murder investigation.
Detectives have been conducting house-to-house enquiries and stepped up police patrols to reassure the local community.

“This remains a murder investigation, and our thoughts first and foremost remain with Mason’s family at this difficult time,” said Detective Inspector Matt Bly of the East Midlands Special Operations Unit.
“The family understandably are still trying to come to terms with Wednesday’s tragic events and, as such, have asked for complete privacy at this time.”
“We are working hard to piece together what happened and find those responsible. Public help is vital – if anyone has CCTV, doorbell or mobile footage, please come forward urgently.”

As part of the ongoing investigation, two 15-year-old boys and a 14-year-old were charged with violent disorder and possession of an offensive weapon. They appeared at Northampton Magistrates Court on Saturday and were released on conditional bail under local authority care.
