The car used by the gang suspected of the murder of a 15-year-old boy outside his school has been found, police said.
Zac Olumegbon, from Brixton Hill, south London, and a friend were ambushed by four young men at the gates of Park Campus School in nearby West Norwood.
The green Nissan Almera was found in Holland Grove, Stockwell, south London, at around 10.15pm on Saturday.
Detectives are appealing for anyone who has seen the car, which had been stolen, in the last few days to get in touch.
Three teenage boys are still being questioned by detectives about the fatal attack on Friday morning.
A post-mortem examination at Greenwich Mortuary found the cause of death was stab wounds to the chest.
A local shopkeeper described how Zac fell into the arms of a teacher after Friday’s attack. Saima Sadfdar, who runs a corner shop, said: “She had her hands open but it was too late and he collapsed in her arms.”
Police believe four black males arrived in a car before the attack and a confrontation took place outside the school involving the two victims. The pair were then chased into Gipsy Road Gardens, where Zac was repeatedly stabbed.
His 14-year-old companion ran back to the school to seek safety but was attacked in the grounds and stabbed in the arm.
Police, London Ambulance Service and an air ambulance attended the scene at 8.50am, where they found Zac suffering multiple stab wounds. He was taken to a south London hospital and confirmed dead shortly after arrival. His companion was also taken to a south London hospital, suffering minor injuries.
