An inquest has opened into the death of a 19-year-old who was stabbed at a block of city flats.

Kalvin Taylor was born on July 25, 2005 and lived in Napier Road, London. He was found dead at Lefroy Road on September 21.

Senior Coroner, Samantha Goward, read out Dr Ben Swifts' report which stated the medical cause of death as: "A stab wound to the chest".

She added that investigations into Mr Taylor's death so far have only confirmed he was found dead at the ground-floor flat in the Mile Cross area.

Reports have been requested from police who attended the scene and GPs while investigations continue.

Emergency services were first called to the flats at 10.40pm following reports of a stabbing.

When officers arrived, they found the body of Mr Taylor.

It's thought he had been dead for nearly a week before being found, suffering the single stab wound on September 15.

Leon Bangura, 22, Adam Dugdale, 55, and Carrie-Anne Hall, 51, have all been charged with murder after Mr Taylor's body was discovered.
