Highbury Vale: Murder suspect recalled to prison after fatal Nottingham tram stabbing

A man arrested on suspicion of murder after a man was stabbed to death on a Nottingham tram in broad daylight has been recalled to prison.

Kyle Knowles, 32, was fatally stabbed on a tram approaching the Highbury Vale tram stop, between Basford and Bulwell, on June 26.

A 24-year-old man was arrested immediately afterwards and taken to hospital for treatment after suffering injuries to his hands.

Nottinghamshire Police said the man has been recalled to prison and is on police bail while the investigation continues.

Detective Chief Inspector Clare Dean, who is leading the investigation, said: “A dedicated team of detectives are continuing to work extremely hard on this investigation and are building up a picture of what happened on the morning of June 26.”

Mr Knowles was described as “a dedicated father and chef with a loving soul and cheeky character” by his family.

Residents living on living on Lauriston Drive, next to the tram stop, told NottinghamWorld they want increased security.

One woman said: “There’s always been problems with that stop with people throwing stones over our fences and other incidents and all because it’s difficult to get down to [it] quickly.”

One passenger added: “They need more security, they need police on the tram or at the stops to keep people safe.”
