On Friday, two more teenagers, ages 15 and 16, appeared in Bexley Magistrates' Court, both of whom were accused of killing the two victims.

Speaking at the scene of the crime, Detective Superintendent Richard McDonagh stated: "Homicide colleagues are investigating and are treating the two murders as linked.

"I can assure everybody affected by these murders that skilled detectives will work tirelessly to discover what happened and provide answers to the young victims and families."

He continued: "Officers are especially keen to hear from anyone who might have seen a dark-coloured SUV or 4x4 type with distinctive silver roof bars in the areas around Sewell Road or Titmuss Avenue in the days prior to the murders.

"We have already heard from a number of witnesses and I'm grateful to them."

The investigation is ongoing.
