Summary
A 14-year-old boy was detained on Sunday after two 15-year-olds—a boy and a girl—were arrested a day earlier on suspicion of murdering Jamal Coombes, 17.
Coombes was found with stab wounds on Glycena Road in Battersea at about 04:20 BST on Saturday after reports of an altercation, and he died at the scene.
All three suspects remain in custody as Metropolitan Police detectives continue a murder investigation and renew appeals for witnesses.
The arrests mark the first breakthrough since police initially said no one had been held and asked for CCTV, mobile phone footage and information about males seen running nearby.
