A man has been arrested in connection with the murder of a 17-year-old boy at a Reading nightclub.

Jordan Malutshi, from Clapham, south London, was stabbed in the heart at The Face Bar in Chatham Street, Reading, shortly before 04:00 BST on Sunday.

The 31-year-old man, from Reading, was arrested when he attended a police station in the afternoon, police said.

Detectives from Thames Valley Police are renewing their appeal for information about the stabbing.

Mr Malutshi was taken to the Royal Berkshire Hospital where he died a short time later.

Det Ch Insp Ian Hunter, of the major crime unit, said: "We have a team of detectives working on the case and are committed to carrying out a full and thorough investigation into the circumstances leading to this tragic incident.

"We are renewing our appeal for any witnesses to come forward, as I know there were a large number of people in the Face Bar at the time of the incident who may have seen something, or who have information which could assist our ongoing inquiry, we would ask them to call us."

A post-mortem examination conducted by a Home Office pathologist confirmed Mr Malutshi died from a haemorrhage caused by a stab wound to the heart.

Chatham Road was partially closed while investigations took place.
