A murder probe has been launched after a 17-year-old boy died in a street attack.
The teenager was attacked in St George's Street, near Northampton town centre, at around 5pm last night and died later from his injuries in hospital.
Police say the teen suffered 'serious neck injuries' but have not yet revealed if a weapon was involved.
Detectives say the attack took place in a busy area and have appealed for any witnesses to come forward.
Det Insp Phil Mills said: "This occurred in a residential area, a number of people would have been in the area at the time.
"We want these witnesses to come forward and contact us with any information they have."
Anyone with information can call police on 101 or Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555 111.
