A teen whose body was pulled from a canal after being stabbed has been named by police.
Victor Lee, 17, from Ealing, was found by cops in the Grand Union canal under Scrubs Lane at around 5.45pm on Sunday, June 25, and was pronounced dead a short time later, reports My London.
A post-mortem concluded that death was caused by stab wounds and detectives have now released the teen's name as they appeal for more information. Three youths, aged 14, 15, and 17, were arrested on suspicion of murder on Friday, June 30, and remain in custody.
Detective Chief Inspector Brian Howie said: “We are continuing to provide Victor’s family with support during this traumatic time and our thoughts remain with them.
“This morning, we made three arrests as part of our investigation into Victor’s murder. However, I still need to hear from anyone who has information about what happened last Sunday.
“Were you in the area of the Grand Union Canal towpath near the Scrubs Lane bridge, or travelling on Scrubs Lane, between 17:15 and 18:15hrs? Did you see a fight, or hear anything that may assist with the investigation?
“If you were driving in the area and have a dash cam, please review your footage and contact us or Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111. My team will be in the vicinity of Scrubs Lane tomorrow, Sunday, 2 July as part of a proactive appeal for information.”
