Four teenagers have been arrested after an 18-year-old man died following a fight in Bournemouth. Police received a report just before 1.30am on Saturday that a man had been badly injured after a fight in the Lower Gardens park. The victim, who has not been named but was from the town, died at the scene. His family and the coroner have been notified. Four 18-year-old men – one from the town, two from the Portsmouth area and one from Poole – were arrested on suspicion of murder. Supt Gavin House, of Dorset police, said: “Very sadly a young man has lost his life and our thoughts are with his family and friends. “A full and detailed investigation is under way into this incident and I would urge anyone who saw what happened and has not yet spoken to officers to please contact us. “Bournemouth Square and a large area of the Lower Gardens have been cordoned off to enable officers to conduct a thorough investigation of the scene.” He thanked the public for their patience while the work took place and said there would be an increased police presence in the area over the coming days. “Officers from the local neighbourhood policing team can be approached with any concerns.” Police later said that “various items”, including bits of clothing, were discarded in the Lower Gardens park by people fleeing the scene. DI Neil Third, of Dorset police’s major crime investigation team, also appealed for anyone with “relevant images or footage on the evening of Friday into the early hours of Saturday to please upload it to our dedicated Major Incident Public Portal page that has been set up”. People are urged to contact the force online or on 101. Crimestoppers can be contacted anonymously on 0800 555 111 or online.
