Baseball cap murder teens bailed

Two teenagers arrested in the investigation into a schoolboy's murder have been released on bail.

Police investigating the death of 15-year-old Kieran Rodney-Davis arrested the pair, both aged 18, yesterday.

Kieran Rodney-Davis died after being stabbed during a mugging, reportedly for his designer baseball cap, in Fulham, west London, last June.

Lascelles Hazel was convicted of Kieran's manslaughter, as well as robbery, earlier this month at the Old Bailey. He is due to be sentenced on April 4.

Police said that the two youths had been previously arrested in connection with the murder inquiry, but they were not charged and were later released.

The two teenagers are due to reappear in court in late April.
