The boy is believed to have been with two other teenagers when he forced his way in to the semi-detached house in Old Basford, Nottingham.

The precise circumstances of what happened next were not immediately clear but it was understood the teenager was then confronted by a man at the property.

Detectives are questioning a man in his early 20s.

A second man, also in his 20s, was under arrest in connection with the death, and two youths were also being quizzed.

Nottinghamshire Police said they were called to the house in Heathfield Road at 2pm on Friday after reports of a disturbance.

Paramedics tried to save the teenager but he died later at the Queen's Medical Centre, police said.

The glass patio door which leads on to the house's back garden had been smashed. On Saturday, part of the fence around the property lay on the front lawn.

Two officers stood outside the red-brick home as forensic experts dressed in white overalls worked in a police tent in the back garden. The window blinds to the house were drawn.

A police spokesman said: "In an effort to establish the circumstances which led up to this death, we would ask anyone who was in and around Heathfield Road at 2pm on March 13 to cast their minds back to see if they can remember anyone acting suspiciously."
