fifteen-year-old boy was fatally stabbed in Hackney, prompting a murder investigation.

A murder investigation is under way after a teenage boy was fatally stabbed in east London.
Police were called to Stellman Close, Hackney at around 4pm on Tuesday.
Officers attended the scene to discover the victim – believed to be aged 15 – with stab wounds.
Despite the best efforts of emergency services, he was sadly pronounced dead at the scene.
The attacker is believed to have run away from the scene, according to Evening Standard.
A Metropolitan Police spokesman said: “We are in the process of informing his next of kin.”
He is the second teenager to be killed in London within 48 hours.
Rene Graham, also 15, was shot dead at a “family fun day” in Emslie Horniman’s Pleasance Park, Ladbroke Grove at about 7.20pm on Sunday.
Four men, two aged 21 and the others aged 20 and 25, have been arrested on suspicion of Rene’s murder and are in custody. A crime scene remains in place.
Detective Chief Superintendent James Conway, in charge of policing in Hackney , said after the latest killing: “The death of a child is devastating and my first thoughts are with his family and friends.
“Our communities will also be deeply concerned by this event.
“Urgent enquiries are underway and my officers are working hard to identify the suspects.
“Local residents can expect to see a notable police presence in the area as the investigation continues and there will be road closures in the Stellman Close area for some time.
“Our communities have shown their strength in coming forward to support the police in tackling knife crime and I ask for their support again after this dreadful event.”
Detective Chief Inspector Kelly Allen, leading the investigation, said: “We know this happened in a busy area during the day and there would have been people around.
“The suspect is believed to have run away from the scene and I would appeal to anyone who saw anything suspicious in the Stellman Close area around 4pm to contact police.”
Anyone with information is asked to call 101, quoting CAD 5387/23Jul, or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
