Flowers have been laid outside an Oxford pub at the spot where a man was slashed across the throat.

The man, in his 40s, was stabbed outside the Corner House pub, Hollow Way, in Cowley, at 10.40pm last night and later died in hospital.

Police sealed off the pub to launch an investigation.

Family and friends laid three bouquets of flowers outside the pub entrance at midday after the cordon was lifted.

Officers investigating the stabbing are also searching a house in Leiden Road, Wood Farm.

A man has been arrested on suspicion of murder and is in police custody.

A woman has also been arrested but Thames Valley Police have not said what she is being held for.
