A SECOND man has been arrested in connection with the murder of a Burnley student.

David Brown, 24, was found dead outside the door to his Hulme flat in September. He had been stabbed three times in the thigh.

Greater Manchester Police said that a 40-year-old man from Trafford has been arrested on suspicion of murder.

He is currently in police custody.

David attended St Stephen's Primary School, Burnley, Mansfield High School, Brierfield, and Burnley College before moving to Manchester.

He had recently quit his job to realise his dream of teaching English in Spain and was due to start a four-year degree in Spanish at Manchester Metropolitan University.

David Alder, 39, of Osprey Court in Trafford has already been charged with David's murder.
