Officers release photos following Primrose Hill murder

Police investigating the fatal stabbing of a teenager in north London have released these images of two people they would like to 'identify and speak to'.

Harry Pitman, who was 16, was killed following an 'altercation' on Primrose Hill on New Years Eve as he waited to watch the fireworks with friends.

So far three people have been arrested and bailed.

Detective Chief Inspector Geoff Grogan, who is leading the investigation, said: "We are working at pace to identify and speak to everyone in the immediate vicinity of the murder, and to that end, I have issued two images and am asking anyone who can name the people pictured to get in touch.

"Similarly, if you see yourself pictured, please contact us without delay. It may be that you have information that could help us, or that we can eliminate you from our inquiries.

"Harry's family is devastated. He was a vibrant young man who should have had his life ahead of him. We continue to support them as they struggle to come to terms with their loss."

Mr Grogan added: "Our inquiries so far have established that there was no racial or gang element to this incident, it appears to have been a spontaneous fight between two people who didn't know each other, that quickly escalated to extreme violence.

"Despite having made three arrests, I am still very keen to hear from anyone who has footage or information that could assist our investigation, particularly if you can name any of the people in the images.

"I would also like to thank everyone who has come forward so far, the response from the public has been exceptional. Please continue to come forward if you can help."

On Wednesday, Harry's sister Tayla, 19, said in a TikTok video that her brother was a "good boy" who had a "heart of gold" and would not have been involved in violence.

About 100 people - including Harry's mother, brother and sister - gathered at Downhills Park in Haringey, north London, on Tuesday evening to pay their respects to the teenager, with many carrying flowers and balloons.

Tottenham Hotspur fans are also planning to pay tribute to him on Friday evening when their team play Burnley in the FA Cup.
