Specialist dive teams will spend a third day searching a canal in Gloucester in relation to a murder investigation.
Searches have been carried out at the Gloucester & Sharpness canal in the Hempsted area, off Quayside Way, over the weekend.
16-year-old Ramarni Crosby, from Frampston-on-Severn, was fatally stabbed last week (December 15).
Emergency services were called to Stratton Road in Gloucester shortly after 6pm and died at the scene.
Three teenagers have been jointly charged with the murder of Ramarni but cannot be named for legal reasons.
They will appear at Cheltenham Magistrate's Court today (December 20).
Detective Chief Inspector Mark Almond, from the Major Crime Investigation Team, said: "Those living in the community will continue to see an enhanced police presence while these searches continue.
"We are doing all we can to piece together what took place on the evening of Wednesday 15 December, but we are still urging for anyone with information to please come forward.
"Any piece of information, no matter how small you feel it may be, could be very important. If you feel you can't talk to police, you can give information anonymously to Crimestoppers instead."
