Detectives investigating the fatal stabbing of 18-year-old Lyndon Davis in Chadwell Heath have made three new arrests.
A 17-year-old boy was arrested on Sunday and two others, aged 15 and 16 respectively, the following day.
All three boys were questioned before being bailed to return to east London police stations to a date later this month.
Lyndon was found suffering from a stab wound in Nash Road when officers were called at about 10.30pm on Wednesday, March 14.
Medics from London Ambulance Service rushed him to hospital, where he died at 1.16am the following morning.
A post-mortem exam gave the cause of death as stab wounds.
Officers launched a murder investigation in the wake of Lyndon’s killing, arresting a 34-year-old man on suspicion of murder.
He has been bailed pending further enquiries to a date later this month.
