Two teenagers arrested on suspicion of murder after boy was stabbed to death

Two teenagers have been arrested on suspicion of murder after a “creative and loving” 17-year-old was stabbed to death in Cambridge.

Jesse Nwokejiobi died at the scene after officers suspected a targeted attack near Logan’s Meadow in the early hours of November 19.

Two 16-year-old boys were arrested on suspicion of murder at properties in south London on Friday night.

They were taken into custody in Croydon and transported to Cambridgeshire on Saturday morning.

The victim’s father, Henry Nwokejiobi, paid tribute to his son Saturday morning, saying: “Jesse was a good son and at home he was very creative and loving.

“He made jokes, cooked a lot and helped with the housework. He learned quickly and did very well at school. He was really good with his GCSEs and we all hoped he would become a doctor.

“I miss him terribly. I will love him forever.’

Three boys – two 14-year-olds and one 17-year-old – have already been arrested on suspicion of murder and all have been released on bail.

Police are urging anyone with information to forward it to the Major Crime Unit online via the Major Incident Public Portal.

Anyone without internet access should call 101 and quote Operation Helix.
