Police investigating the frenzied killings of two French students in London said on Friday a 19-year-old arrested on suspicion of murder had been freed on bail after questioning by detectives.
The man was held in Margate, Kent, on Wednesday, becoming the seventh person to be arrested in the case. He was released on police bail until a date in November.
The June 29 murders of 23-year-old biochemistry students Laurent Bonomo and Gabriel F
erez shocked people on both sides of the Channel.
The pair were tied up, stabbed scores of times and Bonomo's south London apartment set ablaze. Police said they were among the most gruesome murders they had investigated.
Police have previously charged 23-year-old Daniel Sonnex with the murders and with attempting to pervert the course of justice.
They also charged Nigel Farmer, 33, with the murders, as well as arson and attempting to pervert the course of justice.
Two other men and a woman have been arrested and freed on bail but not charged.
Police have said they will take no further action against a seventh person who was arrested last month and later released, a 21-year-old man.
