Police have discovered the body of a teenage murder victim from London believed to have been in a flat for around eight days.

Officers were called to a ground floor flat in Lefroy Road, Norwich, on September 21 at 10.40pm after concerns a man had been stabbed.

They found the body of a man with a single stab wound who was later identified as a 19-year-old from London.

His next of kin have since been informed.

A Home Office post-mortem examination confirmed his death was consistent with a single stab wound to the chest.

Detectives are working to trace the suspects, and are examining the full circumstances around the events that led to his death. 

House to house enquiries are continuing, CCTV footage is being reviewed and forensic opportunities are being explored. 

A police cordon remains in place while investigations continue.

Detective Inspector Dave McCormack said: “This is a complex investigation, and we are working our way methodically through the evidence.

"The man’s body was in the flat for approximately eight days before police were alerted so we need to follow several lines of enquiry.

"There are no arrests at this time.

“Police would like to speak to anyone who may have witnessed anything suspicious or has information about the incident.

"Detectives believe this is a drug-related incident and the suspects do not present a wider risk to the community and do not believe this is linked to the murder in Paragon Place earlier this month.

"We appreciate this is a distressing incident and there will be high-visibility police activity over the coming days in the area.”
