24 May 2012 Last updated at 05:48 ET

A murder inquiry has been launched after a 25-year-old man was fatally stabbed in Castlemilk, Glasgow.

The man was walking in Tormusk Road with a male friend when an altercation took place with a group of males and females at about 23:45 on Wednesday.

He was taken to the Victoria Infirmary but found to be dead on arrival. His friend was uninjured.

Police want anyone who saw the incident or has information about the group of males and females to get in touch.

Det Insp Joe McKerns, of Strathclyde Police, said: "We believe that the victim and his friend were approached by a group of approximately six males and two females in Tormusk Road.

"The victim was then stabbed and it is unclear at this time what prompted this attack.

"His friend summoned an ambulance and a female went to his assistance. We don't know if this female had been with the group and I am anxious for her to get in touch."

An incident room has been set up at Cathcart police office.

EVERETT -- Police on Wednesday were canvassing the View Ridge-Madison neighborhood in Everett after a man was found dead there the night before. A neighbor spotted the man on the ground outside a vacant house at 22 Madison St. He called 911 about 6:20 p.m. The man had obvious signs of trauma to his torso, police said.

Snohomish County deputy prosecutor Lisa Paul likely will begin reviewing the case in the coming days. She doesn't expect to make a charging decision in the near future, however.

The boy, identified as "A.J." in court papers, ingested a lethal amount of salicylates, a chemical common in aspirin and other over-the-counter drugs. The medical examiner declined to conduct an autopsy on the boy, making it difficult to determine how the drug ended up in the boy's system. A
