A murder investigation has been launched following the death of a man in Sutton.
Police were called at just before 9pm last night, Sunday 8 October, to reports of a stabbing outside a property in Ipswich Avenue.
Ambulance crews including an air ambulance were also in attendance, but despite the best efforts of police and medical personnel, the victim – a 37-year-old man – died at the scene.
A 42-year-old man from Ipswich was detained at the scene and subsequently arrested on suspicion of murder. He has been taken to Martlesham Police Investigation Centre for questioning.
