Two teens die in separate knife attacks
12 April 2012
Two teenagers have been killed in two separate London knife attacks. Police were called to the British Prince pub in Shepherd's Bush about 9.30 last night after a scuffle left a 17-year-old black youth slumped on the doorstep. The victim was taken to Charing Cross Hospital but was pronounced dead shortly afterwards.
Detective Chief Inspector Alan Aubeelack of the Serious Crime Group asked witnesses to contact Hammersmith CID or Crimestoppers.
A few hours earlier, two men were arrested in connection with the stabbing murder of a 19-year-old man in Sutton. In that incident police believe there was also a scuffle. The pair have been held for questioning.
