Last updated 21st Jun 2026
Detectives are continuing their investigation into the death of an 18-year-old man in Poole.
Three suspects remain in custody as officers have been granted extra time by the court to question them.
The incident was reported on 19th June 2026 at 2.13am, after the victim was found with injuries on Longfleet Road.
Tragically, he was pronounced dead at the hospital shortly after, suffering from a suspected stab wound.
Dorset Police believe the injuries were sustained in Dale Close before the victim was brought to Longfleet Road in a vehicle.
A 20-year-old man from Blandford, a 22-year-old man from London, and a 22-year-old man from Bletchley have been arrested on suspicion of murder.
Meanwhile, a 19-year-old man from Poole, initially arrested, has been released without further charges.
Detectives urge anyone who may have seen a dark coloured Nissan Juke with damage, including a missing bumper, between 1.30am and 2.33am on 19th June, to come forward.
Detective Superintendent Neil Third stressed the importance of gathering information, saying:
“We believe a Nissan Juke was involved in the incident. We are keen to piece together its movements during the night and are asking members of the public who may have been travelling between Dale Road and Blandford or those living along the route to review any dashcam footage or home CCTV for any sightings of a vehicle matching the description."
Search efforts continue at a property in Castleman Smith Close, Blandford.
Local officers are also increasing patrols in the area to reassure the community.
Anyone with information, relevant footage from Dale Close, Longfleet Road, and the route to Blandford should contact Dorset Police.
