Two boys, aged 13 and 14, have appeared at Waltham Forest Youth Court earlier this week, also charged with murder, attempted murder and inflicting grievous bodily harm.

The pair were remanded in custody to appear at the Old Bailey on April 24.

Detectives also arrested a 19-year-old man and two boys, aged 14 and 15, who have all been bailed until June while further inquiries are carried out.

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