Witness Appeal After Ilford Fatal Stabbing
Detectives are appealing for witnesses and information after a 19-year-old man was murdered in Ilford.
Police were called at approximately 2.30am on Saturday 8 November to reports of a stabbing in High Road at the junction with Clements Road, Ilford.
The 19-year-old victim was pronounced dead at the scene.
A second victim, aged 17, was taken to an east London hospital with stab wounds. He has since been discharged.
The victim's next-of-kin have been informed and a post mortem gave the cause of death as stab wounds to the heart.
At this stage it is believed an altercation occurred between the two victims and a group of up to three other men. A Metropolitan Police spokesman said they are "open minded" as to the motive.
An incident room has opened at Barking under DCI John Macdonald, Homicide and Serious Crime Command
Detective Chief Inspector Macdonald, said: "I urge anyone who may have been in the Ilford High Road or Clements Road area at around 02.30 on 8 November to come forward and contact police."
Two men aged, 24 and 23 were arrested nearby in connection with the incident and remain in custody at separate east London police stations.
On 9 November a third man, aged 21, was arrested in Ilford in connection with the inquiry and taken to an east London police station where he remains in custody.
