Police were called to a house in Ashcombe Road, Old Swan, Liverpool, where they discovered Luke had been stabbed, a spokeswoman for Merseyside Police said. He died in hospital.

A 15-year-old boy has been arrested on suspicion of murder and is being questioned by detectives.

A Home Office post-mortem examination is due to take place.

Superintendent Graham Yip of Merseyside Police said: "It appears that this incident took place following an argument at a party at this property.

"We are appealing for anyone who was at the address during the course of this party to come forward and make contact with the police.

"House-to-house inquiries are ongoing and there is a high visibility police presence in the area."

Anyone with information is asked to contact St Anne Street CID on 0151 7774065 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555111.
