Sven Badzak was stabbed to death in Kilburn, north-west London, last Saturday, after he was approached by six people. A 20-year-old man is the third person to be arrested on suspicion of his murder
He remains in custody, while a 19-year-old and a 17-year-old are on bail after being arrested earlier this week.
Sven’s mother, former Conservative Party activist Jasna Badzak, has called on Boris Johnson’s help to convict her son’s killers, as she believes he was killed in a random attack.
The Prime Minister said ‘absolutely everything’ is being done to tackle violent crime after Ms Badzak, a consultant and financial analyst, called on him to help ensure her son’s killers are caught.
Detectives do not think the victims knew their attackers and have no information to suggest it was a robbery.
Ms Badzak said her son, who was privately educated at Wetherby and Portland Place schools before attending Roehampton University, had gone to a shop to get orange juice and then to a bagel shop when he was attacked.
As he and his friend were chased at around 5.30pm, they became separated and Mr Badzak, from Maida Hill, west London, fell to the ground and was stabbed repeatedly.
The 16-year-old also suffered multiple stab injuries but managed to escape into a shop in Willesden Lane.
