London - A teenage boy has been stabbed
to death in a north London street, the latest victim in a spate
of murders of young people in the capital over recent months,
Scotland Yard said on Wednesday.
The boy, who was in his mid-teens, has yet to be
identified.
He was discovered by police on Tuesday evening after
reports of a "disturbance" involving a number of youths at the
junction of Tollington Way and Axminster Road in Islington.
Paramedics treated him for stab wounds but he was pronounced
dead at the scene.
His violent death follows that of 16-year-old Ben Hitchcock,
who was fatally stabbed on Saturday in Beckenham, south London,
in a fight involving a group of youths who had tried to
gatecrash a party.
Fourteen teenagers aged between 13 and 16, including a girl,
have been questioned by police over Hitchcock's murder.
Annaka Pinto, 17, was shot dead in the early hours of
Saturday during a fight in a bar in Tottenham, north London.
Three people have been arrested and bailed over her killing.
