Leeds residents tell of shock after boy, 17, stabbed to death at house party 'everyone was enjoying'

Leeds residents have told of their shock after a 17-year-old boy was 'murdered' at a house party in Armley.

Police officers are still at the 'murder' scene as their investigation continues and much of the road remains closed off. A spokesperson for West Yorkshire Police said: "Police have launched a murder investigation following the death of a 17-year-old boy in Leeds. At 2.48am this morning, police received reports of a disturbance at a house in Salisbury Grove, Armley, where a party involving a large number of people had been taking place.

"A further call was received from the ambulance service who were responding to a male reported to have been stabbed at the address. Officers attended and dispersed people from the area around the address, and the victim, a 17-year-old boy from Leeds, was taken to hospital where he was pronounced dead a short time later.
