Two 16-year-boys have been arrested on suspicion of murder after a Nigerian teenager was stabbed to death in west London.
Folajimi Orebiyi was knifed in the neck outside a street on a Notting Hill estate on Sunday at about 20:45 BST.
The 17-year-old Folajimi then fled along Portobello Road but collapsed. An air ambulance was called but he was pronounced dead at the scene.
The Met said the suspects were in custody at separate police stations. A boy of 15 was arrested on Monday.
A post-mortem examination has yet to take place.
