Police investigating the death of a man in Seacroft have made a seventh arrest, with a wanted 19 year old man being detained.

Harry Abbott, 19, was killed after being stabbed in an altercation taking place in Parkside View in Seacroft at around 11:50am on October 8th.

He was then taken away in a car to St Wilfrid's Crescent in Harehills, but died a short time later due to his injuries.

Today a 19 year old man was arrested on suspicion of murder, with police saying 19 year old Alfie Milburn is no longer being sought.

Last week Jack Stretton, of Bellbrooke Grove, Burmantofts, Leeds, appeared in court charged with conspiracy to commit grievous bodily harm with intent and possession of an offensive weapon.

The charges were in connection to the wider circumstances surrounding the death of Harry Abbott.
