Teenager arrested on suspicion of murder of 16-year-old

A teenager has been arrested on suspicion of murder after a 16-year-old boy was killed in west London.

Police were called to Bourne Avenue in Hayes at around 1.30pm (BST) on Friday following reports of a stabbing.

Rescue workers tried to save Kamari Johnson, but he died at the scene of the accident.

A 17-year-old man was arrested on Saturday evening and remains in custody, the Metropolitan Police said.

Det Chief Insp Alex Gammampila said Kamari’s death had caused “shock and concern” in the local community.

“A team of experienced investigators is working tirelessly to find out what happened to Kamari and why he was attacked,” he said.

“Tonight’s arrest shows the progress we are making and that is thanks in no small part to the support we have received from the community.

“We must work together to ensure Kamari’s family gets the answers they deserve about what happened to him.”

He urged the public to avoid speculation about the incident.

The criminal police have asked for witnesses.
