Two teenagers arrested on suspicion of murder after Harry Pitman stabbed to death at NYE fireworks

Two teenagers have been arrested on suspicion of murder after 16-year-old Harry Pitman was stabbed to death at New Year’s Eve fireworks.

Harry died after what police described as “an altercation” as crowds gathered in Primrose Hill, Camden, north London to watch the display just before midnight on Sunday.

The Metropolitan Police said on Friday that a 16-year-old boy and a 17-year-old boy have been arrested on suspicion of murder over his killing.

The force added the two teenagers attended a west London police station following a public appeal and remain in custody.

Detective Chief Inspector Geoff Grogan said: “This is a fast-paced investigation, and my team is working around the clock to identify those responsible.

“This is clearly a significant development, and we are keeping Harry’s family informed.”
