Two men and a youth have been arrested by police investigating the murder of a 15-year-old boy in Belfast. 

Thomas Devlin was stabbed in the back as he walked on Somerton Road in the north of the city late last night.

An 18-year-old friend who was with him was injured, while a 16-year-old boy managed to escape. The three had been in Thomas's home earlier in the evening. 

They went out to buy snacks at a nearby petrol station and were on their way home when they were attacked.
