Boys, 16, arrested over murder of 17-year-old

Two teenage boys have been arrested on suspicion of murder after a “creative and loving” boy, 17, was fatally stabbed in Cambridge.

Jesse Nwokejiobi died at the scene after what officers believe was a targeted attack near Logan’s Meadow, Cambridge, on Nov 19. Two 16-year-old boys were arrested on suspicion of murder in south London on Friday.

In separate incidents, the Metropolitan Police last night said two 16-year-old boys were stabbed to death about a mile apart in south-east London.

Detectives are investigating whether there is a link between yesterday afternoon’s two killings, in Abbey Wood and Thamesmead.
