Just been browsing out local paper, The Argus, and came across this, yet another stabbing and yet another serious crime in Sussex recently, seems like the county has gone mad......

Teenager arrested on suspicion of murder after stabbing


As usual, The Argus are a little shambolic in their reporting, I don’t think it says anywhere yet that a teen has been stabbed as they have said in the title of their first article, just that a teen has been arrested, but who knows?

Ok, as I was posting the above, The Argus have now put this on their website, appears the male stabbed was 18 and has now been named......
