Police were called to reports of a stabbing on Victoria Road at 5pm on Monday (January 12), as reported in our sister title London Now.
Officers attended the scene alongside the London Ambulance Service and London’s Air Ambulance Service and treated an 18-year-old for stab wounds.
He was taken to hospital, where despite the best efforts of medical staff, he was pronounced dead.
His family are aware and are being supported by specialist officers.
It is understood that the boy went by the name Malikhai, however it should be noted that the Metropolitan Police has not confirmed this at the time of publication.

One person said: “Rest in peace my brother, I miss you so much you meant the world to me g, gone to soon.”
Another said: “RIEP Mal, thoughts and prayers to your mum, brother and family.”
