A teenager who was attacked in a Suffolk car park died from multiple organ failure and a stab wound to the heart, an inquest opening heard.

Harley Barfield suffered multiple stab and puncture wounds in Haverhill on 9 January and died in hospital two days later.

A 16-year-old boy has been charged with murder.

Suffolk's assistant coroner, Catherine Wood, adjourned the inquest while a criminal case takes place.

The hearing at Suffolk Coroner's Court was told Harley was at Strasbourg Square when he was attacked.

Paramedics attended the scene and he was initially taken to Addenbrooke's Hospital in Cambridge before he was moved to Royal Papworth Hospital, where he died.
