The Metropolitan Police has launched a murder inquiry after a teenager was stabbed to death in South London in broad daylight.

Officers arrived at the scene on Seeley Drive in Dulwich at around 6:30pm to find the 18-year-old, who is yet to be publicly named, had been stabbed multiple times.

However London Ambulance Service paramedics were unable to save him, with the alleged victim dying from his wounds at the scene.
