Detectives investigating the murder of a teenager stabbed to death in a park have arrested two more youths in connection with the killing.
Jamil Palmer, 18, was found slumped in the road near Evans Grove in Feltham, Hounslow, west London, following the "horrific attack" last week.
Police today arrested a 15-year-old girl and a 16-year-old boy on suspicion of murder. It brings the total number of people arrested in connection with the killing up to five.
A 15-year-old boy remains in custody on suspicion of murder, while an 18-year-old youth and a 16-year-old boy were arrested on suspicion of murder on May 6. They were both bailed until June pending further inquiries.
Detectives have reissued their appeal for anyone with information about the murder to come forward.
Detective chief inspector Noel McHugh, who leads the investigation by the Homicide and Major Crime Command, said: "It is clear that there is a misguided loyalty where some people are not speaking to the police, protecting those involved.
"I would ask those who are reluctant to come forward to do so, so Jamil and his family can get the justice they deserve.
"I would also like to reiterate my reassurance to anyone who has witnessed this horrific attack that my officers are here to protect you and will treat any information you have with the utmost sensitivity and discretion."
Anyone with information should call the incident room on 020 8785 8099 or call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
