15-year-old boy arrested on suspicion of New Year’s Eve fireworks murder

A 15-year-old boy has been arrested on suspicion of murder after a teenager was killed while waiting to watch New Year’s Eve fireworks. Harry Pitman, 16, died after what police described as “an altercation” as crowds gathered in Primrose Hill, Camden, north London, to watch the display. The 15-year-old youth was arrested on Tuesday along with an 18-year-old man who was held on suspicion of affray. Earlier on Wednesday, Harry’s sister Tayla, 19, said in a TikTok video that her brother was a “good boy” who had a “heart of gold” and would not have been involved in violence.
