Detectives have been given more time to question four people after a man was murdered in Blackpool.
We were called around 1am yesterday (Monday, July 11) to a report of an assault in Carshalton Road. It was reported a man had been attacked in the street suffering stab wounds.
Emergency services attended, with the man, Mark Gibson, 52, from Manchester, taken to Blackpool Victoria Hospital for treatment. He sadly later died.
Mr Gibson’s next of kin have been informed and our thoughts are with them.
A post mortem examination has given a cause of death as stab wounds.
Four people are under arrest on suspicion of murder – two men aged 40 and 42 and two women aged 38 and 43, all from Blackpool.
Officers have today (Tuesday, July 12) been granted more time to question the four people.
Detectives are continuing their investigation and urging anyone with information to come forward.
