A 17-year-old boy has been arrested on suspicion of murdering a rapper at Notting Hill Carnival in August.

The teenager was arrested in Bristol on Saturday and remained in custody, the Metropolitan Police said.

He was the fourth person to be arrested in connection with the stabbing.

On Wednesday, two men, aged 18 and 23, were arrested in Bristol on suspicion of murder and a 20-year-old woman was also arrested in Islington on suspicion of assisting an offender.
