Man arrested over Bristol street stabbing

A 30-year-old man has been arrested in connection with the killing of a father-of-three who was stabbed to death in Bristol.

Barry Wilson, 29, from Ilminster Avenue died after being stabbed in the neck and the heart outside his home, after he returned from an anti-crime family fun day on Monday.

He had been walking home with another man around 4:30pm when an argument broke out. According to reports, neighbours said that the row was over a loan of 40p to buy a pint of beer, although police have not commented on these claims.

Avon and Somerset Police confirmed that a 30-year-old man was arrested on Wednesday night on suspicion of the murder of Mr Wilson.

Anyone with any information about the incident is asked to contact Bristol CID via the force non-emergency number on: 0845 456 7000 or Crimestoppers on: 0800 555 111.
