Youth held after killing

The 57-year-old victim, a family man with children, was attacked by up to eight youths outside his house in Warrington, Cheshire, on Friday night.

He is understood to have gone outside his home to tackle the teenagers, who may have been damaging his car.

Cheshire Police have launched a murder inquiry and six youths aged 15 to 19, are in custody.

Neighbours said the tree-lined street in the Fernhead area of the town had been plagued by anti-social behaviour for years.
