As the investigation continues, his family is aware and is being supported by specially trained officers.
Detectives made four arrests as part of their investigation overnight and into the early hours of Sunday, July 17th.
On suspicion of murder, a 19-year-old man [A] and an 18-year-old man [B] were arrested.
A 21-year-old [C] and a 26-year-old [D] were also arrested on suspicion of assisting an offender.

My thoughts continue to be with Jeremiah’s family and friends,” said Detective Chief Inspector Chris Wood, who is leading the investigation. Jeremiah’s family deserves to know what happened to him and who was to blame for his death.
