A fifth person has been arrested after the murder of a young man in Anerley who was stabbed repeatedly.

Ayodeji Habeeb Azeez, 22, was killed in broad daylight in Samos Road after being attacked by a group at around 12.30pm on November 4.

A 21-year-old man has now become the fifth arrest after being brought into custody on Monday.

It comes one week after Chase Grey, 23, of Lancaster Road, was charged with Ayodeji’s murder.

A 16-year-old girl has been bailed pending further enquiries and two men, 19 and 21, have been released under investigation.

One young family told News Shopper they never expected something so brutal to happen in such a quiet area.

Roland, who lives in nearby Bourbon Road, said at the time: "It is horrible. I feel sorry for the family. It must be so hard for them.

"A few things have happened in Betts Park and further into Penge and Crystal Palace. But never this close.

"It has made me a little nervous, especially with my little boy."
