Police have provided an update on two men arrested in connection with an Oxford murder investigation.

Tobias Bruce, who lived on Arthray Road, was fatally stabbed during an incident in College Lane, Littlemore at around 6.05pm on Sunday, February 25.

Thames Valley Police announced last month that two men had been arrested in connection with the incident after a murder investigation had been launched.

An 18-year-old man from Birmingham was arrested on suspicion of assisting an offender and a 33-year-old man from Stratford-upon-Avon was arrested on suspicion of conspiracy to commit robbery.

They were both released on bail and the Oxfordshire police force revealed on Wednesday morning that both of the arrested men remain on bail while the police investigation continues.

A Thames Valley Police spokesperson said: “Both arrested men are still on bail.

“We have no other updates on this investigation. Our enquiries are ongoing.”

Two other men have already been charged with Mr Bruce's murder.

George Stephens, 27, of no fixed abode, was charged with one count each of murder and wounding with intent.
