DETECTIVES have arrested three more people on suspicion of murdering Edmonton teenager Negus McClean last month.
Two 17-year-old boys and one 16-year-old were arrested in their homes by officers this morning and taken to an east London police station.
15-year-old Edmonton County pupil Negus McClean was stabbed through the heart and killed on April 10, after being chased by a gang of teenagers on mountain bikes.
Police have now arrested 12 people in connection with the murder, with nine of them on bail pending further enquiries.
Detective Chief Inspector Stephen Clayman, who is leading the investigation, has appealed for witnesses to come forward.
He said: “We urge anyone with any information about the murder, or any witnesses to the incident in Westminster Road, to come forward.”
Anyone with information should call 0208 345 3775 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
