An 18-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of murdering a 17-year-old boy who was stabbed to death in south-east London earlier this month.

The teenager was arrested on Wednesday, and is being held in custody at a south London police station.

Levi Ernest-Morrison died in Sydenham on Saturday April 10.

Police officers were called to the junction of Hazel Grove and Sydenham Road at around 7.20pm after reports that someone had suffered stab wounds.

Four others have been charged in connection with the death of Levi.

Nichola Leighton, 36, of Lockwood Close, Sydenham, and a 17-year-old boy, have both been charged with murder and have been remanded in custody following an appearance at the Old Bailey.

They have appeared at Bromley Youth Court and will remain in custody until their next court hearing at the Old Bailey on Thursday.

Police have not named the suspects aged under 18 for legal reasons.
