Police have dismissed reports that Jimmy Mizen's killer may have fled to Cyprus as "lazy journalism".

And the Met is refusing to confirm that they are looking for a 19-year-old Turkish youth in connection with the killing.

National press and media have today reported that an arrest warrant has been issued for a young Turkish man, known to live in the area near the scene of the murder in Burnt Ash Hill, Lee.

Police refused to comment on claims that they have issued an all ports warning and fear the suspect may have fled the country for northern Cyprus.

A police spokesman dismissed the reports as "speculation" and "lazy journalism".
