Two Arrested Over Enfield Teen's Murder
Two teenagers have been arrested in connection with the fatal stabbing of a 14-year-old in a park in Enfield, north London.
Leroy James, 14, from Edmonton, was found by police at the Ponders End Recreation Ground around 5;30pm on Wednesday.
He had been stabbed and was pronounced dead at the scene. A post-mortem has confirmed the cause of death as a single stab wound.
Two boys, aged 14 and 15, have been arrested on suspicion of murder and remain in police custody,
Detective Chief Inspector Caroline Goode said: "We know that the park was incredibly busy at the time of the incident and many more people may be able to help us with our investigation. Leroy James was a young person with hopes, ambitions and dreams. Someone has chosen to take those hopes and aspirations away and in doing so have robbed Leroy's family and friends of a much loved young man.
"We urge anyone who can help, to think about Leroy and their local community. We need to work together to solve this dreadful crime."
Leroy is the eighth teenager to be stabbed to death in London this year.
