A third person has now been arrested as part of the investigation into the murder of 16-year-old Rishmeet Singh in Southall.

A 17-year-old boy was arrested on suspicion of murder on Wednesday, 8 December and remains in custody at a north London police station.

This follows the arrest of a 19-year-old on suspicion of murder on Tuesday, 30 November, who was bailed to a date in late December, and another 17-year-old boy was charged with murder on Thursday, 2 December.

He appeared at the Old Bailey on Tuesday, 7 December and details await of his next court appearance.
