An 18-year-old boy was killed in the early hours of Saturday outside Dulwich Hamlet Football Club in Southwark, where he had just attended an 18th birthday party.
The youngster, whose name is Daniel, had fled the party after a gunman opened fire inside the packed avenue, where another teen, whose condition was described as not critical, was hit in the leg.
Daniel was chased out of the club by a gang who followed him to East Dulwich railway station, where he was repeatedly stabbed with a ferocity that has shocked detectives.
The victim made a last effort to jump on board a 176 bus, where a passenger called an ambulance. The bus driver carried on for several hundred yards, up to the point the victim was met by paramedics. He was taken to King’s College Hospital in Camberwell but died shortly after arrival.
Police, who believe violence broke out at the football club after a confrontation between rival gangs from different areas of South London, have arrested a boy of 13 for attempted murder in connection with the shooting. The youngster has been bailed today.
The tragedy comes just days after a 17-year-old was run over and killed by a bus while fleeing gang of thugs in Walthamstow, Waltham Forest.
Three teenagers have been killed in London during the last eleven days, bringing the total number of victims to four, this year.
