A second person has been arrested on suspicion of murder following the stabbing of a 17-year-old girl in an east London park.
Jodie Chesney was attacked while playing music with friends in Harold Hill, Romford, on 1 March. Jodie was with five other teenagers near a children's playground in Harold Hill at about 21:00 GMT when they became aware of two males who they did not speak to. The pair then left but about 30 minutes later they returned and walked straight towards the group where one of them stabbed the victim in the back.
The male suspect was being held in custody in London. A 20-year-old man who was arrested in Leicester on 5 March on suspicion of murder also remains in custody.
Jodie was the fifth teenager to be stabbed to death in London this year.
Second arrest over Jodie stabbing death
