Officers from the Metropolitan Police are appealing for witnesses after a 17-year-old boy was found suffering from a stab injury.
Officers were called at 21:20hrs on Friday, 23 October to Westbury Road, he was treated by paramedics at the scene but despite their best efforts, he was pronounced dead.
The Police are working to establish the male’s identity and inform his next of kin.
A crime scene remains in place while detectives carry out an investigation.
A local resident, who did not want to be named, said that before the arrival of emergency services they “didn’t hear anything at all that indicated violence, heard no shouting etc that we thought was odd”.
“It is incredibly tragic and such a senseless loss of life. It feels especially shocking when it happens so close to home, and on an otherwise peaceful street,” they said.
The resident said sniffer dogs were at the scene on Friday night, while two cars had been removed by police.
Police have made no arrests at this stage.
Any witnesses or those with information are asked to call 101 or tweet @MetCC quoting 8357/23Oct.
