Four men have been arrested by detectives investigating the fatal stabbing of a teenage boy in south London.

John Ogunjobi, 16, was found collapsed in the street with stab injuries in Tulse Hill on November 5, and was pronounced dead at the scene.

On Monday, four men aged 22, 20, 21 and 23 were arrested on suspicion of murder and taken to a south London police station to be questioned.

The young victim was one of five killed in a weekend of bloodshed in the capital.

The first was father Rocky Djelal, 38, who stabbed in Rotherhithe.

The next day, Jay Hughes, 15, died of knife wounds in Bellingham, then Malcolm Mide-Madariola, 17, was knifed outside Clapham South Tube station.

On November 4, the day before Mr Ogunjobi was killed, Ayodeji Habeeb Azeez, 22, from Dagenham, was fatally stabbed in a daylight attack in Anerley.
