00:00 Hello, I'm Sam Morton and here is your Daily Sussex News bulletin on Friday, October the 6th.
00:05 Some very sad news to start off with from Brighton as a 17-year-old boy has died after a stabbing
00:11 and a second teenager has been arrested on suspicion of murder.
00:14 Emergency services were called to Queens Road at around 5pm on Thursday to report a 17-year-old boy having been stabbed.
00:21 Police said the boy was taken to hospital by the ambulance service where he was sadly pronounced dead.
00:26 His next of kin have been informed.
00:28 Following an extensive search, a 16-year-old boy has been arrested on suspicion of murder.
00:32 He remains in custody at this time.
00:34 Police said a fast-moving investigation is underway to establish exactly what happened and why.
00:39 They said officers have already spoken with many witnesses but would like to hear from anyone who witnessed the incident
00:44 or saw a man dressed in black leaving the area who has yet to provide details.
00:48 Meanwhile, a garden centre in West Sussex has closed down.
00:51 Finden Garden Centre revealed its closure in a sign left outside the premises.
00:55 The sign read 'Finden Garden Centre Ltd has ceased trading today. If you need any of the concessions, please call them.
01:01 We want to thank all of our customers over the years.'
01:04 The business officially ceased trading on Friday, September 15th.
01:08 A local business owner who asked to remain anonymous told Sussex World that the site is currently expected to remain as a garden centre under new ownership.
01:16 A spokesperson for the South Downs National Park Planning Authority said 'we have no current planning applications for the site.'
01:22 Finally, Brighton and Hove Albion mounted a superb second-half comeback at Marseille to earn their first ever Europa League point last night.
01:29 Quick five goals from the French side in the first half left Albion facing a damaging defeat but the visitors were much improved after the break.
01:36 Pascal Gros, who was making his return from injury, got one back on the 54th minute before João Pedro scored his third goal of the European campaign with his third penalty, two minutes before stoppage time.
01:47 Albion remained bottom of Group B after two games but are just one point behind second-placed Marseille and three behind AEK Athens who drew 1-1 against Ajax.
