Detectives are continuing to appeal for information after a teenager was killed.
A murder investigation was launched by the police last week after a 19-year-old was allegedly stabbed in the heart.
Met Police Officers and paramedics from the London Ambulance Service were called at around 2.30pm on Wednesday (September 20) to Jubilee Country Park, near Tent Peg Lane, in Petts Wood, Bromley.
The air ambulance also attended but the victim died at the scene.
His next of kin have been informed but formal identification is yet to take place.
A post-mortem examination was held on Friday (September 22) and the cause of death was given as a stab wound to the heart.
There have been no arrests at this stage and inquiries are ongoing.
Detectives from the specialist crime command are leading the investigation and have now issued another appeal for witnesses and information.
Detective Chief Inspector Laura Semple said: “This investigation continues at pace and we are making progress in piecing together the events that led to this young man losing his life.
“However, we need the help of the public. I would ask anyone who was in the park area and who saw the events leading up to this attack to come forward and speak to police.
“I am especially keen to hear from people who may have captured events on camera or taken images that could assist our work.
“There is a dedicated online portal where footage and pictures can be uploaded.”
