A TEENAGER found dead on a Woodford Green estate has been named by police.
The body of Luke Harwood, 18, from the Havering, was found close to the playing fields in Broadmead Road, near the Orchard Estate, at 10:40pm on Monday (May 28).
Five people were arrested at the scene in connection with the death and remain in custody.
It is believed the victim was involved in a fight before he died.
A police spokesman said officers are appealing for anyone who saw anything suspicious.
They are particularly keen to trace the whereabouts of a blue Fiat Punto seen in Courtland Close or activity near the bridge in Chigwell Road from Sunday evening through to Monday night.
A post mortem is due to take place today (May 30) to establish cause of death.
An incident room is open under DCI John Sandlin of the Homicide and Serious Crime Command.
Anyone with information should phone 020 8345 3865 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
