Two women have been arrested after a young man was stabbed to death in a quiet cul-de-sac in Sussex.

Two men were also held today as police launched a murder investigation after the 20-year-old died in hospital. Officers were called by paramedics to Spencers Road in Crawley at about 3am on Saturday.

A spokesman for Sussex Police said the man was treated for what appeared to be a stab wound to his abdomen.

Two women aged 22 and 24 were arrested on suspicion of murder, along with two 20-year-old men. All are from Crawley.

Detective Chief Inspector Antony Archibald from the Sussex and Surrey Major Crime Team said: "This has been a fast moving investigation and we are still making enquiries. We have arrested four people who are being questioned.

“A scene guard has been set up in Spencers Road and there are officers in the area to speak to residents about their concerns."
