More arrests over stabbing

Two more teenagers have been arrested in connection with the fatal stabbing of an 18-year-old.

Officers are questioning two 16-year-old boys over the death of Charles Junior Hendricks.

He was knifed to death near a bus garage in Walthamstow, east London, on Saturday.

The first of the latest arrests was made at 4.30pm when a boy attended an east London police station.

The second came at 7pm when a youth was arrested in a street in Holloway, north London.

Police had arrested two males aged 19 and 17 near the scene the day after the attack. They were both bailed to return in September pending further inquiries.

The 17 year-old was treated for a minor slash wound to his arm.

The victim, known as CJ, was discovered lying collapsed on the ground by police who were on a routine patrol of the site at around 1.40am.

Officers said they saw two or three males running away from the scene.

Organisers for the London Olympics had intended to show the closing ceremony of the Beijing Games on a giant screen near the scene of the stabbing but police cordoned off the area.
