A 15-year-old boy has been charged with the murder of a teenager stabbed to death in a park.

Jamil Palmer, 18, was found slumped in the road near Evans Grove in Feltham, Hounslow, west London, following the “horrific attack” last week.

The 15-year-old, who cannot be named due to his age, has been remanded in custody to appear at Uxbridge Magistrates’ Court later this morning, Scotland Yard said.

A 15-year-old girl and a 16-year-old boy arrested yesterday on suspicion of murder remain in custody.

The murder charge comes after detectives reissued their appeal for anyone with information about the murder to come forward.

Detective chief inspector Noel McHugh, who leads the investigation by the Homicide and Major Crime Command, said yesterday: “It is clear that there is a misguided loyalty where some people are not speaking to the police, protecting those involved.

“I would ask those who are reluctant to come forward to do so, so Jamil and his family can get the justice they deserve.”

A post-mortem examination gave the cause of death as a stab wound.

Previously, an 18-year-old man and a 16-year-old boy were arrested on suspicion of murder on May 6.

They were both bailed pending further enquires, returning in early June, and the 16-year-old has since been released from bail with no further action.

Police continue to appeal for any witnesses, or anyone with information, to call the incident room on 020 8785 8099 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
