First teenager killed in London in 2011

A teenage boy died yesterday in stab attack and three of his friends were injured.

The accident took place in the afternoon just outside the youngsters’ school gate, in West Green Road, Tottenham.

15-year-old Kasey was killed as he left Park View Academy and it is thought the fight broke up between a group of teenagers, including a girl and a man in his early thirties.

Reports suggested the victim stepped in to protect his female friend from unwanted attention and the rest of the group waded in to help him.

Onlookers said the children surrounded the man, punching and kicking him before Kasey staggered away and collapsed bleeding.

Whatever the man used to injure the teens, he had in his hand and could have been a screwdriver or a knife.

Paramedics tried to save Kasey but he was pronounced dead at the scene, while his friends, aged 14, 15 and 16, were taken to hospital; their condition was described as not critical.

A 33-year-old man has been arrested in connection with the attack; police are still investigating.
