A man, 20, desperately tried to get away from his attackers but
was eventually caught and stabbed to death.
Police found the victim and another
man, 22, with stab injuries just before midnight at Ainsworth House, in South
Hampstead, London. An eyewitness neighbour said the victim’s mother fainted
when she saw her son covered in blood.
She told the Evening Standard: ‘He was
losing so much blood, and there was another boy lying on the other side.’
Another witness said the man’s sister screamed ‘that’s my brother’ as he lay
dying in the street.
Both victims were taken to hospital but
the 20-year-old was pronounced dead just after 12.35am. He has not been named
but police say his family are being supported by specialist officers. A
post-mortem will be arranged soon.
The 22-year-old victim was not critically injured and remains in hospital in a ‘serious, but stable’ condition.
Armed police arrested two suspects at gunpoint after pulling over a car in north London earlier today.
The men, aged 20 and 23, were detained on suspicion of murder.
The incident is being
linked to another stabbing yesterday in nearby West Kilburn. A man, 20, was
found with a stab wound to the leg in Lancefield Street and was taken to
hospital.
His condition is
non-life threatening. Detective Chief Inspector Simon Stancombe said: ‘My team
is working hard to establish the circumstances of this violent incident, and
our thoughts and condolences are with the family of the man who died.
‘The two arrests were
made following an armed stop of a blue, Audi A3 in the early hours of this
morning in Shirland Road, West Kilburn.’ Anyone with information should call
police on 101 quoting CAD 10016/july25, or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800
555 111.
