Levi Earnest-Morrison, 17, was stabbed to death in Sydenham, south east London – and a woman has now been charged with his murder

Police confirmed today a 17-year-old boy has been arrested on suspicion of murder and is being quizzed in custody.

It comes after Nichola Leighton, 36, was charged with Levi’s murder.

She is due to appear at the Old Bailey tomorrow after being remanded in custody following a short hearing at Bromley Magistrates’ Court yesterday.

Levi was walking home with pals when he was set upon yards from his home.

His attackers allegedly filmed the stabbing “in jest” as he lay dying in the street.

A post-mortem examination held on Monday gave Levi’s preliminary cause of death as a stab wound leading to a catastrophic bleed.

A GoFundMe page for Levi’s funeral, which will donate 20 per cent to the charity Lives Not Knives, has already raised almost £10,000.

The organiser said: “Levi was an intelligent and loving boy.

“He was a beautiful son, a playful brother, a loving grandson, godson and nephew, a devoted boyfriend and a loyal friend.”

Police are still appealing any witnesses to come forward and say all information will be “treated in the strictest confidence”.

Detective Chief Inspector Chris Wood, leading the investigation, said: “I am appealing for anyone who has information concerning the identity and whereabouts of the people involved in this murder to share what they know with my team.

“It is often the case that friends or acquaintances of the victim know who was responsible, if you are one of those people, please do the right thing by your friend and get in touch with us.

“Whatever you decide, please consider Levi and his devastated family and do the right thing.”

Anyone with information can call police on 101 quoting 6072/10APR or ring Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.

Olu Of Warri Defends Tradition, Speaks on Christianity The Olu of Warri, His Majesty Ògíamẹ̀ Atúwàtse III, has dispelled the insinuation that there is a conflict between the traditional thrones and Christendom. The monarch, who stated this when he received the Soun of Ogbomoso land, Oba Ghandi Afolabi Olaoye, Orumogege III, in his Palace in Warri Kingdom, Delta State, said that the two institutions were not necessarily antithetical. He also debunked the assumption that traditional institutions were synonymous with fetishism and the worship of creations made by human beings and reasoning. He, however, noted that the two institutions can play complementary role that will contribute to the growth and development of the country.

He said that they owe i
