Paul Erhahon collapsed in the street as he and a 15-year-old friend staggered from the scene of the attack by youths in the foyer of a block of flats in Leytonstone, east London, on Friday.

A police spokesman said the latest arrest was of a 14-year-old youth.

Officers are continuing to question two others - one 19 and the other 13 - who are being held at separate London police stations.

Paul and his friend, who had both been stabbed repeatedly, were found in Crownfield Road - just yards from Paul's home. The younger boy died in hospital while his friend, who has not been named, is still in a critical condition.

Paul is the seventh Londoner under 16 to be murdered since the end of January.

On Sunday, the family of the murdered teenager revealed that he had moved to a new school last year after being stabbed by bullies.

His maternal aunt, Jackie Mustapha, said Paul's parents had hoped the move would allow their son to make a fresh start.

She also revealed that Paul's mother, Ivy, was with her son as he lay dying.

Mrs Mustapha said: "His mum was there kissing him, cuddling him, trying to see if she could revive him. They are a very responsible, loving, close family and they love their kids to bits."
