A TEENAGE boy from Colchester has been arrested on suspicion of murder by detectives investigating a stabbing in east London.
Wazabakana Elenda Jordan Kukabu, 18, also known as Jordan, died after he was stabbed in the chest outside Dagenham Heathway Tube station late on Friday.
Detectives had been called to the scene following reports of men armed with machetes.
Police arrested a 15-year-old from Colchester early on Tuesday.
He was also arrested on suspicion of a separate violent disorder offence and remains in custody.
Det Chief Insp James Shirley, of the Met Police's specialist crime command, said the investigation is making "significant progress".
"Local people have provided us with information which, together with forensic inquiries and analysis of CCTV, is enabling us to build a picture of what happened on Friday night.
"I am grateful to everyone who has provided information.
"There will be other people with information that would assist our investigation and I urge them to come forward and share what they know or any relevant footage.
“This can be done anonymously through Crimestoppers should anyone prefer not to speak with police."
