'Family inconsolable'

Det Ch Insp Brian Howie, leading the investigation for the Met's Homicide Command, said: "Tyler left his home around 21:10 on Wednesday evening and rode his bike along Elmwood Avenue and at some stage entered the park.

"He never returned home.

"Tyler's family and friends are inconsolable after receiving the worst possible news imaginable - our thoughts are with them and they are being supported by specialist officers."

The detective appealed for any witnesses to come forward to help the force with its investigation.
