After confronting the drug dealer, the victim chased the two suspects in the direction of Beaconsfield Walk, police said.

When he caught up with the pair, he was fatally stabbed.

A 20-year-old man who was a friend of the deceased came to his aid and was also stabbed.

One of the suspects, described as a black male dressed in dark clothing, fled down Harbledown Road in the direction of Fulham Court.

The second suspect, a young white male, ran into Beaconsfield Walk.

Police believe he called for an ambulance a short time later for his own injuries.

Det Ch Insp Noel McHugh said: "A young man has tragically lost his life for simply asking a drug dealer to move on.

"I urge anyone who can assist our investigation to come forward without delay."
