A SECOND teenager has been arrested in connection with the death of Kayden Moy.
Police have confirmed the latest arrest as investigations continue into the incident at Irvine Beach on Saturday, May 17.
Kayden, 16, of East Kilbride, was found seriously injured at the beach last weekend and died in hospital on Sunday.
A 17-year-old has since been charged with murder and appeared in court earlier this week.
He appeared on petition at Kilmarnock Sheriff Court on Tuesday, May 20, and also faced allegations of carrying an offensive weapon and attempting to pervert the course of justice.
Cops have now confirmed that a second male, also aged 17, has been arrested in connection with the incident.
He has not been charged at this stage and officers say that enquiries into Kayden's death remain ongoing.
Detective chief inspector Campbell Jackson, of the major investigations team, said: “Our specially trained officers continue to support Kayden’s family and keep them updated with the progress of our investigation.
“I’d like to thank members of the public who have come forward and continue to ask anyone with information, who has not already spoken to police, to contact us.
“Extensive enquiries are ongoing and officers remain in the Irvine and East Kilbride areas. Anyone with concerns can speak to them or call 101.”
Detectives have also set up a website that gives members of the public access to a form to send information directly to the Major Investigation Team, which can be submitted anonymously.
