ANOTHER TEENAGER MURDERED ON LONDON ROADS

Teenage boy was last night stabbed to death on Bethnal Green Road, in east London.

15 year-old, A Joel Adesina, was rushed to hospital but was pronounced dead upon arrival.

Saleha Siddiqah is at the scene.  Saleha what can you tell us about this tragic incident?

Reports are that Joel was on his way home with friends at the time of the attack. It is not clear where he was coming from that late. Police are at this moment interrogating the friends to find out more.

They describe his murder as cold and brutal. He was knifed in the stomach – the blade penetrated his abdomen.

Friends called an ambulance immediately and Joel managed to survive for about three hours.

He died in hospital.

To date, there have been almost 200 teenager murders in London in the last 10 years.

Just before you joined me I spoke with Police Constable, Roger Laing, about the Met’s efforts to reduce this figure.
