Police make arrest after 21st London teenage killing of the year

Frederick Moody, an 18-year-old Kingston College student, became the 21st teenager to die in a violent attack this year.

He was found by police with a blade wound to his stomach in Guildford Road, south Lambeth, after officers were called to an assault in progress just after 7pm last night.

He was pronounced dead in hospital at 8.15pm.

Police say up to eight men wearing hooded tops, some with bikes, were involved in the attack. It is rumoured a play water fight in the street may have led to a row that sparked the stabbing.

The 16-year-old suspect was arrested earlier this morning at his home in nearby Brixton.

The funeral of another London teenage stab victim, 16-year-old Ben Kinsella, is taking place today.
