Previously, on May 8, a 33-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of conspiracy to commit murder.
He has been bailed pending further enquiries to a date in late May.
As the Wandsworth Times reported previously, paramedics and police were called to a home on Dowdeswell Close, SW15, around 11.05am on Thursday, May 6.
There they found Abdirizak suffering stab injuries and he was sadly pronounced dead at the scene.
His family are now being support by "specialist officers" from the Met.
A post-mortem examination confirmed that he had died of a stab wound.
Meanwhile, the police murder investigation continues.
