A York estate has reopened following the fatal stabbing there yesterday.

Police lifted the cordon to Bellfarm Avenue at about 4.15pm this afternoon (Sunday).

It means all of the Bell Farm Estate is accessible again to both traffic and pedestrians.

All of the streets leading from Bell Farm Avenue were sealed off from early on Saturday morning after a violent attack left a man dying in the street.

It was to allow a crimes scene investigation team to complete their analysis of the crime scene.

Today, a small police cordon remains. There is a police guard on one house in Roche Avenue.
