Mobile Phone Murder Teens Released

Three teenage boys arrested in connection with the death of another teen killed in a row over a mobile phone have been released on bail.

Rizwan Darbar, 17, was stabbed in West Ham Park in east London on Sunday as he listened to music with friends. He was taken to hospital, but died a short time later.

It is thought that the teenager may have tried to stop a gang stealing a friend's mobile phone.

An inquest into Rizwan's death was opened on Wednesday at Walthamstow Coroner's Court and was adjourned until a later date.

Rizwan's family have reportedly offered a £10,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of his killer.
