Mr. Adu, who was also a neighbor of the boy, said: “He is a nice young man, very handsome and always laughing.”
Detective Chief Inspector Mark Wrigley of the Met’s Crime Specialist Command said: ‘These arrests are a positive step in our investigation, but we are still working to establish exactly what happened Friday night.
“There were a lot of people in the area at the time and I would appeal to anyone who has not yet come forward to do so.
“It is understandable that the senseless murder of a 15-year-old has shocked the community and I urge you to help us bring those responsible to justice.”
