A 17-YEAR-OLD has been stabbed to death in broad daylight as two are arrested.
Keiron Charles from East Acton tragically died at the scene after being attacked, despite the best efforts of emergency services.
Cops rushed to reports of a stabbing in Erconwald Street, Shepherd’s Bush yesterday at 1.10pm
Met officers attended with the London Ambulance Service and found two teenage boys who had suffered stab injuries near the junction with Du Cane Road and Old Oak Common Lane.
Keiron’s family are being supported by Met officers.
The other teenager – aged 16 – was taken to hospital with stab injuries and was subsequently arrested on suspicion of murder.
His injuries were assessed as non-life-changing, and he was later discharged from hospital.
He was then taken to custody, where he remains.
A third teenager – aged 16 – had left the scene and an urgent investigation commenced to locate him.
He was arrested in the early hours of Sunday, 6 April and taken into custody, where he also remains.
Detective Chief Inspector Alex Gammampila, whose team is leading the investigation, said: “This is an awful incident in which a teenager has lost his life. The thoughts of everyone in the Met remain with Keiron’s family and loved ones as they begin to come to terms with their tragic loss.
“Detectives have worked around the clock to follow every possible available line of enquiry and I’m pleased that we have made two arrests as part of our early enquiries.
“While we are working hard to understand the exact circumstances, we are not looking for anyone else in connection with this incident at this stage.
“I’d like to appeal directly to anyone who was in the area between 1pm and 1.20pm on Saturday and witnessed the incident.
“Our team are also keen to speak to anyone who might have any other information that might assist us.
“Keiron had his whole life ahead of him and any information might prove vital in achieving justice on behalf of his family.”
