A GHANAIAN teenager has been stabbed to death in south London on Thursday.
The 18-year-old victim, who has been identified as Frederick Moody, was found with stab wounds to the stomach in Guildford Road, South Lambeth.
According to the Police they were called to report of an assault in progress and found the victim suffering from one or more stab wounds to the stomach.
He was taken to hospital but was pronounced dead on arrival.
The police believe the victim was attacked by up to eight males who were described as wearing hooded tops and had bikes.
Moody is the 21st teenager to die violently in London this year.
Meanwhile police have arrested a 16year-old boy in connection with the stabbing and is being questioned by detectives.
Police said he was arrested at his home in Brixton on Friday morning, and is now in custody at a South London Police Station.
Early on Friday, officers were carrying out a forensic examination of a green Peugeot parked in Guildford Road.
Keith Bayley, who lives opposite where the victim was found, said he had seen the teenager lying in a pool of blood.
He said, "One of our neighbours came and knocked on our door and told our son there was a body lying on the street.
"There were a lot of paramedics trying to revive him. He was there for about 20 minutes, then they took him away in an ambulance.
"Until then he was just lying there on the road, fighting for his life."
Mr. Bayley said the stabbing had changed how he and his family felt about the area.
"It changes everything round here. My l4-year-old son has asked to be picked up from school tonight. It just changes everything," he said.
A teenage friend of the victim, who gave her name as Natasha, said she had known him for five years and described him as, "tall, slim and good looking".
"He always stayed out of trouble, he was a sweet kid and actually quite quiet.
"It has been horrifying hearing the news this morning. As soon as I heard it I knew it was going to be someone I knew," she added.
Edward Skurfield, 19, who lives in Guildford Road said, "I have lived here for three years and my friend has lived here for II years and we have not heard of any knife crime in that time in this area.
"It is so upsetting because people keep dying."
