Two teenagers have been arrested over the murder of a 21-year-old-man in Westminster.

The men, aged 18 and 19, were detained at Heathrow Airport on Tuesday on suspicion of murder, attempted murder and grievous bodily harm.

Police were investigating the killing of Omar Abdullah at Gayhurst House on Mallory Street in the Lisson Grove area at around 3.20pm on Monday 28 November.

Officers attended along with the London Ambulance Service and London’s Air Ambulance. Two men were found with stab injuries.

Abdullah was pronounced dead at the scene while the second man, 20, was taken to hospital where he remained nine days later.

Later on 28 November, a third man, 21, attended hospital with a hand injury believed to have been sustained as part of the earlier incident.

Detective Chief Inspector Brian Howie of Metropolitan Police, who is leading the investigation, said: “Despite the arrests made, we are still very keen to hear from anyone who has information or footage relating to this horrific incident.

“While police challenge knife crime as a priority, we can’t stop violent behaviour such as this without help from the public – there needs to be a joining of minds where police and the community work together to stamp out the carrying of knives and the violence associated with that.

“If you have information please share what you know. What you tell us, no matter how small, could be a missing piece of the puzzle we are building around Omar’s death. I urge anyone with information about this case to contact us without delay. “
