Detectives are no longer appealing for the public’s help to locate three men in connection with an ongoing investigation into the death of 20-year-old Jason Romeo in Hackney.

Jason died on Tuesday, 18 February, after being stabbed outside an address in Bodney Street, E5 at 17:59hrs.

A murder investigation within Specialist Crime Command remains ongoing and on Friday, 22 February, three men were arrested on suspicion of murder. The men, aged 22, 21 and 21 remain in custody.

Detective Superintendent Kelly Allen, leading the investigation, said:

“I would like to thank the public for their support following an appeal issued yesterday to identify three men.

“This investigation is progressing quickly and our officers are working tirelessly to get justice for Jason and his family.

“We are continuing to appeal to anyone who may have information which could support this investigation to come forward. Specifically, around two men, we believe were in the area at the time of Jason’s death who officers are looking to identify. Anyone with any information is asked to contact us.”
