Corby stabbing: Three arrested after Rayon Pennycook killed
A 16-year-old boy has been stabbed to death, with three teenagers arrested on suspicion of his murder.
Rayon Pennycook was killed on Constable Road in Corby on Tuesday evening.
Northamptonshire Police were called at about 19:00 BST and, despite the best efforts of paramedics, he died at the scene.
Officers have arrested three boys, one aged 15 and two aged 17, on suspicion of murder and the force said the inquiry was moving at a "fast pace".
A wide cordon remained in place on Wednesday and an officer was standing guard outside a property on the adjacent Reynolds Road.
Det Ch Insp Joe Banfield said: "This is an exceptionally sad and tragic incident in which a young boy with his whole life ahead of him has died, and I want to reassure the public that we are absolutely determined to bring the people involved to justice.
"Inquiries are continuing to move at a fast pace, however I would still appeal for any witnesses or anyone with information who has not yet come forward to please do so.
"Whilst we do believe that this was an isolated incident, high-visibility police patrols will be taking place in Corby today to reassure the local community and I would encourage anyone with concerns in the area to approach one of our officers who will be happy to help."
