Police will be carrying out extra patrols in Norwich today a week on from the murder of 18 year-old Joe Dix.

Officers were called to Vale Green shortly before 7pm on Friday 28th January to reports a teenager had been stabbed.

A Home Office post mortem found the cause of death to be blood loss as a result of stab wounds.

The victim has been provisionally identified as Joe Dix.

A 17 year-old boy was arrested on Monday on suspicion of murder, while another 21 year-old man was arrested on suspicion of assisting an offender.

They've both been released under investigation pending further enquiries.

DCI Phill Gray said: “Our investigation is progressing and we are continuing to piece together the circumstances leading up to this incident.

“Tomorrow we will be conducting both high-visibility and plain-clothed patrols in the Vale Green area, a week on from this tragic incident.

“We reiterate our appeal to hear from anyone who was in the local area between approximately 6pm and 8pm on Friday 28 January. We are particularly keen to hear from anyone who may have been driving in the area and may have dashcam footage.”

Anyone with information is asked to call 101.
