A murder investigation is under way after a 23-year-old man was stabbed to death today, police said.

Detectives said there was a "disturbance" in Meadow Lane, Loughborough, between 2am and 3am before the man was taken by a member of the public to the nearby NHS walk-in centre in Pinfold Gate.

Paramedics were called and the man was treated for a stab wound but he later died.

A 38-year-old man and a 45-year-old woman are currently under arrest, Leicestershire Police said.

Detective Chief Inspector Neil Castle, said: "The investigation is in its very early stages and officers are making a number of inquiries in the area this morning.

"We are keen to piece together the circumstances that led to this incident and we would urge anyone who may have any information about a disturbance in the Meadow Lane area between 2am and 3am this morning to please contact the police immediately."
