Police have made an arrest in the well-publicized London murder of the younger brother of an East Enders actress.

LONDON (Reuters) - Four teenagers have been arrested over the murder of 16-year-old Ben Kinsella in north London, Scotland Yard said on Tuesday.

The four, all in their late teens, were being held at north and east London police stations after being arrested on Monday and early on Tuesday.

"One was arrested in the Islington area yesterday afternoon, two were arrested at an address in Chadwell Heath late last night, and a fourth was arrested in Bethnal Green this morning," a spokesman said.

Kinsella was chased down a street in north Islington and stabbed to death by up to four teenagers after a fight at the Shillibeers pub and nightclub in the early hours of Sunday.

Police said they had had a good response to their appeals for witnesses but called for more to come forward.
