The family of a murdered teenager, whose body was found in a London river, are to hold a vigil this afternoon.

Anton Hyman was found dead in the River Brent in Greenford last Monday, March 21.

He had suffered multiple stab wounds and a gunshot wound to the back.

The body, face down in the River Brent near High Lane, Greenford, was found by a member of the public at 11:17am.

Anton was last seen at about 8pm on Saturday March 20, outside KFC Restaurant in Ealing Broadway where, a police spokesperson said, he got into a minicab on his own.

His family will be joined by friends and members of the black community in Greenford this afternoon for a vigil in his memory from 4pm.

Anton was black, five feet six-and-a-half inches tall and of slim build.

The spokesperson said when his body was found, he was wearing distinctive bright multi-coloured woolly gloves, blue and white Timberland boots, dark coloured jeans, a dark grey fleece, a green t-shirt and a green shirt with 'Iceberg' written on the breast pocket.

Five people - all teenagers - have been arrested in connection with the investigation into the murder.
