Police have launched a murder investigation after a 17-year-old boy was stabbed to death on Glycena Road in Battersea, south-west London, in the early hours of Saturday.
The official said detectives believe the stabbing occurred as a result of an argument and asked for witnesses to come forward.
Police are willing to speak to anyone who was in the Lavender Hill area between 3.30am and 5am, particularly Glycena Road, Acanthus Road or Pountney Road.
He added: ‘Any information, no matter how small it may seem, can be very important. CCTV, doorbell or mobile phone footage can provide vital evidence.
‘I also urge the public not to assume that information has already been shared; Any details could be of great importance to the investigation.’
