Four released over teenager's stabbing

Three men arrested in connection with the fatal stabbing of 15-year-old Adam Regis in east London at the weekend have been released without charge.

The men, aged 22, 20 and 19, were arrested at an address in Beckton, east London on Tuesday evening.

Earlier, a 17-year-old youth who was arrested in the early hours of Tuesday morning in East Ham, was released on police bail.

A spokesperson for Scotland Yard said: "We stress that the investigation continues and that all our points of appeal remain. All lines of inquiry do remain open."

Adam, from Plaistow, was stabbed in the chest and abdomen at the junction of Boundary Road and Kingsland Road, near West Ham FC's stadium, on Saturday.

Adam, who is the nephew of Olympic medal-winning athlete John Regis, is believed to have been attacked as he returned home from a cinema in Beckton.
