Two men who were found in a car in a gangland killing after they were stabbed to death have been identified.
Police were called to Leytonstone, east London, just before 1am on Saturday. Both men were pronounced dead at the scene.
The murder victims are Aaron Carriere, 21, and Josiah Manful, 20, who were both from east London, Scotland Yard said.
Post-mortem examinations found the cause of death for Mr Carriere was given as stab wounds to the neck, while the cause of death for Mr Manful was given as shock and haemorrhaging, and stab wounds to the chest.
No arrests have been made and an incident room has opened in Barking under detective chief inspector Neil Attewell from the Homicide and Major Crime Command.
Forensic teams investigating the double murder yesterday combed a 200-yard stretch of Montague Road, scouring drains and gutters as they went.
A steady stream of mourners came to pay their respects and lay flowers at the police line.
In a written tribute a mourner said: "Nothing but love my brothers, may you rest in peace. Love Tony."
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers.

That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
