Ashraf Habimana stabbing: Two more teens arrested after Luton murder
Two more teenagers have been arrested as part of a police investigation into the murder of a sixth form student. Ashraf Habimana, 16, died from stab wounds in Nunnery Lane, Luton, on 29 September. The two teens were arrested on Thursday on suspicion of violent disorder and possession of a bladed article.
They have been released on bail with conditions whilst the investigation continued. Three teenage boys have been charged with murder in connection to the incident, in which another teenage boy suffered serious injuries. Det Insp Graham Newton, Bedfordshire Cambridgeshire and Hertfordshire Major Crime Unit said: “We all have a responsibility to challenge any sort of attitude or behaviour that suggests violence or carrying a knife is okay.
“In policing, this means taking a strong stance against anyone who arms themselves with a weapon or threatens to use it. “These deplorable scenes that led to the death of Ashraf have understandably raised concerns and an overwhelming response from our communities. “We are determined to do everything we can to get justice for Ashraf’s family.”
