The teen, who was wearing dark clothing, rode his grey bike along Elmwood Avenue and at some stage entered the park.

Detective Chief Inspector Brian Howie, leading the investigation from the Met's Homicide Command, said: "If you were in the park and saw something, regardless of the reason you were there, please get in touch.

"Our focus is on what happened to Tyler and who was responsible.

"Similarly, if you were driving through Elmwood Avenue, returning home or out walking, did you notice anything? Did you see anyone else in the park on bikes alone or in a group?

"Did you perhaps see Tyler, who was wearing dark clothing, riding his grey bike?

"The H25 bus route goes through Elmwood Avenue, were you travelling through this area on Wednesday or in the early hours of Thursday? Did you see Tyler or anyone matching his description?

"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."
