Police were called to the new estate at Hanwood Park Avenue, at its junction with Thornton Avenue, and the victim, an 18-year-old man, was taken to hospital with serious injuries.

Forensics officers were seen examining the scene with a police cordon closing the area for several hours.

Detective Inspector Torie Harrison previously said: “Lots of people will have been awake celebrating the start of the new year and I would urge anyone who may have seen anything suspicious to contact us immediately if they haven’t already done so.”

Witnesses or anyone who believes they have any information in relation to this incident should contact Northamptonshire Police on 101, quoting reference 24000000143.
