"Many Photos" - Teenager, 19, is stabbed to death close to Prince George’s school

A teenager has been stabbed to death in Battersea, London this evening as a violent crime wave continues to grip the capital. 

Metropolitan Police were called to the scene at 7.52pm but the victim, thought to be 19, was declared dead at the scene at 8.36pm.

The scene of the incident is less than a five minute walk away from the £17,000-a-year Thomas's School, attended by Prince George.

Police confirmed the next of kin of the victim has been informed. Initial reports suggest that teenager lived in the local area.

A Metropolitan Police statement said: 'A male, believed to be 19 years old, was found with stab injuries.

'Despite the efforts of paramedics, he was declared dead at 20.36hrs.

Already this year at least eight people have been murdered in the capital including 14-year-old Jayden Moore who was stabbed seven times in the back

'Next of kin have been informed.

'A crime scene is in place. The Homicide and Major Crime team has been informed.

'There has been no arrest. Enquiries continue.'

The stabbing this evening comes after another teenager was knifed near London's Euston station in the early hours of Tuesday morning.

The victim, 18, is now fighting for his life in hospital and police have urged witnesses to come forward.

A spokesman for the Metropolitan Police said: 'Officers and London Ambulance Service attended and found an 18-year-old man suffering from stab wounds.

'He was taken to hospital where his condition has been assessed as potentially life-threatening. No arrests have been made. Enquiries into the full circumstances continue.'

These attacks are the latest in the capital's wave of violent crime over the last 12 months, which saw 134 people murdered in London last year.

On Sunday, two teenagers were stabbed in west London and police officers believe the two incidents are linked.

One victim was found with stab injuries in the Harlington Road East area of Feltham at 2.27pm shortly before another teenager 'suffering from slash wounds' was found outside shops in Hounslow Road.

Neither victim’s injuries are believed to be life-threatening.

Last Thursday a 16-year-old boy was stabbed near an Aldi supermarket in Brent, north-west London. 

Earlier that week Nedim Bilgin, 17, died in Caledonian Road, north London, after he was attacked with a knife.

He was the eighth person to die as a result of violence in the capital so far this year and three teenagers aged 16, 17 and 18 have been arrested on suspicion of murder.

Figures released in January showed police-recorded violent crime had risen by nearly a fifth in England and Wales.

Forces also registered an eight per cent increase in offences involving a knife or sharp instrument.

Knife crime has been increasing over recent years and police and politicians have promised a crackdown

Violence in 'Wild West' Britain has seen 69,000 children hurt

Nearly 70,000 children have been wounded in stabbings and beatings in just one year as violence on the streets of 'Wild West' Britain continues to spiral.

Jackie Sebire, assistant chief constable of Bedfordshire police, revealed the shocking statistic in October 2018 as she lamented the 'constant torrent' of murders and knife attacks unfolding in the UK.

Mrs Sebire said police forces face a 'constant and sustained' demand, adding: 'Wild West? It can be... it's happening in broad daylight, they're in public spaces.'

Stats released earlier this month showed a wide range of offences showing dramatic increases

In the year to June there were 69,000 child woundings, where a youngster aged 10 to 15 was stabbed or seriously injured, a rise of 4,000 on the previous year.

Mrs Sebire, the National Police Chiefs’ Council spokesman for serious violent crime, said: 'I've worked in some really challenging London boroughs. This is different, this level of violence, this constant torrent of every single day there is another stabbing, that we can't seem to get ahead of.'

Police chiefs believe they are at a turning point, after years of struggling to meet high public expectations and soaring demand.

Recorded crime has risen by 9 per cent – including rocketing levels of knife crime and robbery – as 22,000 officers were lost from the frontline.

Statistics released earlier this month show the number of homicides nationwide is up from 630 to 719, with overall recorded crime up by almost 10%.

The number of offences registered as involving a knife or sharp instrument, 39,332, was the highest since 2011, when comparable records started.
