The two taxi drivers suspected of being involved in an attack which left a teenage former England football team mascot dead and four others injured are still being questioned by police, according to the Greek embassy.

Robert Sebbage, 18, died after the incident in which he was fatally stabbed at the Lagana resort on the popular Greek island of Zakynthos.

The two Greek drivers have been arrested and detained and the weapon recovered, local police said. The four injured Britons are being treated in hospital for injuries that are not life-threatening.

They have been named in reports as Mr Sebbage's school friends Jordan Manson, who was left with serious knife wounds, Samuel Champion, Steven Granston and Callum Lane, all 18. All were former pupils of Hurst Community College in Tadley, north Hampshire.

Mr Sebbage's family is believed to be heading out to Greece to learn about the incident and police investigation for themselves.

The incident happened as Mr Sebbage, of Tadley, near Basingstoke, had been with his friends outside a nightclub when an argument started with the taxi drivers.

Reports have said the incident followed a laser pen being aimed at the drivers.

A Greek news website reported that one of the drivers said after the incident: "I was annoyed because the young British tourists bothered us with lasers."

A 21-year-old is facing a murder charge and his 25-year-old colleague is charged with complicity to commit murder, according to local police.

A spokesman for the Greek embassy in London confirmed that the suspects were currently in custody and were still being questioned.
