A TEENAGER is among three people who have been arrested in connection with the death of a Czech man following a row in a chicken shop.
The 16-year-old along with two men, aged 19 and 29, have been arrested on suspicion of murder and are being questioned by police following the death of 31-year-old Zdenek Makar.
The group has been arrested in connection with an incident at Perfect Fried Chicken in Poplar, East London.
Mr Makar is thought to have been chased 100 metres down a main road after the fight broke out at the shop in East India Dock Road and stabbed during the attack.
Since the attack took place a number of people have paid their respects to Mr Makar.
Bunches of flowers and candles have been lit at the scene where the incident took place.
Officers rushed to the scene after receiving reports of an injured man but found him dead on arrival.
A Metropolitan Police spokesman said: "Detectives continue to appeal for anyone who was in the area who witnessed the events prior to attack or the incident itself. They retain an open mind as to the motive for the attack."
A post-mortem examination on Friday revealed he died from head injuries and Mr Makar's next of kin has been informed.
Scotland Yard said detectives from the Homicide and Major Crime Command have been notified of the death.
The A13 East India Dock Road was shut down between Cotton Street and Chrisp Street while police investigated the incident and a forensic team scoured the area.
