Further Arrest Over East Dulwich Murder
There has been a further arrest in connection with the murder of a teenager in south London.
Police were called after midnight on Saturday 29 January following reports of an assault close to East Dulwich rail station.
Daniel Graham, 18, of Fellbrigg Road in south east London was taken by ambulance to a south London hospital where he was later pronounced dead.
Police believe that Daniel had attended a party at Dulwich Hamlet football club where an altercation between a group of youths began. As a result he left the party and ran down Dog Kennel Hill before boarding a stationary Route 176 bus.
It is believed that he was followed onto the bus, so he got off. He was then attacked by up to six youths on the pavement in full view of the passengers and pedestrians on the street. He managed to get back on the bus whereupon passengers called for an ambulance.
A post-mortem gave cause of death as stab wounds - he had been stabbed 24 times.
An incident room has opened under DCI Dave Manning (HSSC), and detectives continue to urge anyone who may have witnessed the attack to come forward.
At 12.20am on Saturday 29 January, police were called to a south London hospital to reports of a 14 year old boy who had been shot in the leg. He was treated and later discharged.
It is believed this shooting was also connected to the party and police are also appealing for anyone with information on the incident to come forward.
DCI Manning said: "East Dulwich is a busy area on a Friday night and I am sure that many people witnessed both incidents. I need to hear from any of the passengers on the 176 bus or any pedestrians who were in the vicinity."
