Body parts victim named
Police want to speak to the friends of a boy who was murdered and had his body parts scattered in plastic bags.
The remains of 14-year-old Adam Morrell were found in a canal and in a nearby street and playing field in Loughborough, Leicestershire.
Four people, including a 15-year-old girl, have been arrested in connection with his death.
Detective Superintendent Bob Small said: "It is obviously an extremely distressing time for Adam's family and friends and our thoughts are with them.
"We are keen to speak to anyone who saw Adam between Thursday evening and Sunday afternoon.
"It is very important to the investigation to find out where he had been and I would urge his friends and anyone who knew him to come forward."
Two men aged 19 and 26 and the girl were arrested on Tuesday.
A fourth man, aged 18, was arrested in connection with the investigation but not on suspicion of murder, on Wednesday.
