Police investigating the murder of an 18 year old in Ipswich earlier this year have made two further arrests, in Norfolk and Cambridgeshire.

An 18 year old man was arrested in Norwich yesterday (June 20) along with a 16 year old boy in the Fenland area.

It follows the death of Raymond James Quigley, known to friends as James, on Westgate Street on January 17.

James was originally from Wymondham in Norfolk.

He was approached by two people in the street at around 3:35pm that afternoon and stabbed.

A person who was with him was chased by the suspects and threatened by a knife, but ultimately escaped unharmed.

James was pronounced dead at the scene, despite the efforts of paramedics.

Two teenagers were arrested on January 21 and ultimately charged with his murder.

Alfie Hammett, aged 18 and of Larkhill Rise, Rushmere St Andrew; and Joshua Howell, aged 18, of Wellington Street Ipswich, are being held on remand ahead of a trial on December 11.

The two teenagers arrested yesterday have both been released on bail.
