Three Held Over Cyclist Alan Cartwright's Murder

Three people have been arrested on suspicion of the murder of a 15-year-old cyclist stabbed while riding with friends in north London.

Alan Cartwright was attacked in Islington on Friday evening.

The youngster was stabbed once and managed to continue riding for a short while along the road before collapsing.

Emergency services attended but he was pronounced dead at the scene.

CCTV of the attack showed the bikes belonging to Alan's friends were taken by a number of men.

The suspects, aged 17, 18 and 21, were arrested in the early hours of Wednesday.

At a vigil on Saturday, Alan's sister Cherries spoke about how the family had been "deeply affected" by his death.

"He was every sort of personality you can think of, really, all wrapped in one. He had his moments, but he beat them with his laughter and his jokes and joys," she said.

"Everyone here is showing their support for us. We are all here, celebrating [his life]. It still hasn't really hit me."
