A 14-year-old boy was fatally stabbed on Route 472 in Woolwich, southeast London, on January 7.
Emergency services, including paramedics and an air ambulance, responded quickly, but the boy succumbed to his injuries at the scene.
The Metropolitan Police have launched an investigation and are appealing for witnesses, though no arrests have been made. The suspect remains at large.
The incident occurred near Woolwich Church Road at the junction with the A205 South Circular Road. The area remains cordoned off as police work to gather information.
The tragedy follows a steep rise in knife-related crimes in London, with over 15,000 offences reported in 2024.
Further details will be provided by authorities in due course.
Where is the video footage? London buses have cameras installed.
Busy being deleted as we speak.
Fresh name suppression orders being furiously penned by the courts. Media all waiting for their talking points to be delivered. Got to make sure the “new European” who killed the poor lad is safe and protected at all costs 👍
If you were to administer an enema to planet earth, the UK is where the hose would go.
What a place GB has become. The Pedo, Starmer, won’t care.
Here we go again, poor kid. RIP.
Let me guess: The child is white, though heaven forbid we’d get told that. And when they ‘find’ the stabber, there will be no pics or descriptions. The only way the ‘sir mayor’ of london would care is if the child had been of his same nationality.
I’m sorry for the child and the family. So very sorry indeed.
