Two teenagers have been killed in stabbings just a mile apart in London. Emergency services were called to reports of a stabbing at 5.10pm and the Metropolitan Police raced to two scenes in Greenwich, South East London.
Officers found a 16-year-old male with stab wounds at each location when they attended with London's Air Ambulance and the London Ambulance Service.
Both boys sadly could not be saved and were pronounced dead at the scene. One teen was found on Titmuss Avenue in Thamesmead while the other was discovered on Sewell Road, Abbey Wood.
Given the time and distance between the two incidents, police are now trying to establish if the stabbings are linked, the Mirror reports.
An investigation into the deaths of both teenagers is currently underway and crime scenes have been erected at both locations.
Posting on Twitter, Ward Councillor Anthony Okereke said: "Awful news tonight of two fatal stabbings in our borough.
"Too many of our young people are losing their lives to senseless violence. Something needs to change. My heart goes out to all of those affected."
Specialist officers will be supporting the next of kin during the investigation. A Section 60 order, providing officers with additional search powers, is in place until 8am on Sunday.
Anyone with information is being urged to call 101, giving the reference 4943/26NOV. Information can also be provided to Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555 111.
