Murder investigation launched after teenager stabbed to death in south London

An 18-year-old was fatally stabbed in Dulwich on July 8

A 18-year-old boy has been stabbed to death in south London.

Police were called to Seeley Drive in Dulwich at about 6.30pm.

Officers and the London Ambulance Service attended the scene and found a young man suffering from stab wounds.

Despite the efforts of the emergency services the 18-year-old was pronounced dead at the scene.

The Metropolitan Police is currently trying to locate and inform the next of kin.

A nearby resident, who did not want to give his name, told the Evening Standard that the young man who died was a former resident of the Kingswood Estate and was visiting friends.

He said: "There was a lot of young men running around the area at the time.

"I've heard the man that died, was a only child who used to live on the estate and was visiting friends.

"Since 6.30pm there has been a high police presence here, with a van and cop doing loops."

A crime scene remains in place and no arrests have been made.

Anyone with information that could assist police is asked to call 101 or tweet @MetCC and quote CAD 6306/8July.
