Horrible story: as reading between the lines it would appear the "3 men" were out to steal the 3 boys bikes,
Killed for a what was probably a BSO ? On, or very close to a main road

Doesn't bear thinking about - so young. RIP and condolences to the lad's family and friends.

Why haven't the Police released a description of the suspects?

Truly awful news for that young boys family. RIP.

You also would have thought the descriptions of the two stolen bikes would be all over the web, as they would now almost literally be too hot to handle.
(Unless the Met already have a very good idea of whodunnit)

That could be any London cyclist.
I've cycled down that road, as it's the link between the two sections of the Regents Canal path where it goes through a boats only tunnel

The Guardian today quoted a description of the bikes: "A red mountain bike and a black and red pedal cycle". Oh dear.

The Standard this evening said a red Specialized Hard Rock with black tape on the frame and a Specialized Vita
