Sheffield murder probe: post-mortem confirms victim died from stab wounds

Forensic officers at the scene of the fatal stabbing

Jordan Hill, aged 21, was found injured in a flat in Southey Avenue, Longley, where he lived, on Thursday night.

He was taken to hospital, where he was pronounced dead, and a murder inquiry is underway.

Police today said a post-mortem carried out yesterday evening concluded he had died as a result of stab wounds.

Detectives also appealed for information about a silver car seen in the area on Thursday between 9pm and 10pm, as they seek to piece together the events of that tragic night.

Floral tributes have been left close to the scene and people have also paid their respects online to Jordan, who has been described as a 'nice young lad' and a big Sheffield Wednesday fan.
