Three teenagers have been arrested in connection with the murder of a 17-year-old boy in Cambridge yesterday afternoon (Saturday).

Police were called by the ambulance service at 2.52pm yesterday afternoon with reports of a stabbing in the vicinity of Logan’s Meadow.

The teenager was pronounced dead at 2.56pm.

A post-mortem examination is yet to take place; however it is believed the boy was stabbed in a targeted attack.

A 14-year-old boy was arrested at his home in Cambridge at about 11.30pm last night, while another 14-year-old boy and a 17-year-old boy were both arrested at their homes in South Cambridgeshire around midnight.

They have all been arrested on suspicion of murder and remain in custody at Thorpe Wood Police Station in Peterborough.

Detective Superintendent Carl Foster, from the Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire, and Hertfordshire Major Crime Unit, said: “We believe there were members of the public at the scene who spoke with paramedics but left before our officers arrived. I am directly appealing for these people to contact us please.

Police say they are not in a position to name the deceased until formal identification has taken place.

Logan’s Meadow is a small reserve next to the River Cam.

The site, formerly a grazing marsh, was neglected for some time before it was designated as a local nature reserve in 2005.
