March calls for justice for Anton
Anton Hyman was found shot and stabbed in 2004The family and friends of a 17-year-old who was murdered three years ago have held a march calling for justice.
Anton Hyman was shot, stabbed and beaten before being thrown in the River Brent in Greenford, west London. His body was found on 21 March 2004.
The memorial march, Justice for Anton, started at midday on Saturday in Brent.
The march called for an end to violent crime in the community, including murder and domestic violence, gun and knife crime.
Traffic problems
The march began at Ealing Hospital opposite Brent Valley Park and moved along the Uxbridge Road to Acton Park where family and community members addressed the crowd.
Anton Hyman's body was found on Mother's Day
There was also singing by various local artists, as well as speeches and prayers.
Anton's mother, Vanessa Hyman, told BBC London 94.9 FM that the event was not just about her son.
"It's for awareness really, to get young people's minds open," she said.
"The kids are getting younger, they are getting hold of the weapons and they are using them but we don't know where they are getting them from. We are asking kids to stop the violence."
Investigating Officer DI Anthony McKeown addressed the crowd and encouraged anyone with information to come forward and speak to police.
He also appealed for the community to work with the police and share information that may help prosecute perpetrators of violent crime.
He also highlighted a knife crime initiative aiming to reduce knife-related offences.
Repeatedly slashed
The march is the latest of several held by family and friends since Anton's death.
Anton, who had lived with his mother and five-year-old sister in Acton, west London, was found lying face down in the river on Mother's Day in 2004.
He had been stabbed through the heart, shot in the back, and had been repeatedly slashed across the neck.
His murderers have never been found.
A reward of up to £20,000 is being offered for information leading to the arrest and prosecution of anyone responsible for Anton's murder.
