The boy was Nick Pearton, 16, who got involved in a brawl with a gang of youth who later chased him down the Home Park Recreation Ground, off Sydenham Road and stabbed him in the floors of a fast food joint across the death.
His screams brought his mother out from their nearby home in the Home Park Estate, Sydenham and as she came out, she found her son lying on the floor, bleeding profusely.
A fast response car, ambulance crew and duty officer rushed to the screen, but all efforts to resuscitate the boy went in vain and he was declared brought dead at the hospital.
Witnesses say that they saw a gang of boys was chasing the teenager with knives, baseball bat and sticks. According to their version, all of them looked completely out of control and did not care for the traffic as they crossed the road on their way to the joint.
Mail Online quotes one woman, who was on the scene, as saying:
‘They were just chasing him, they were out of control. They ran across the road, they did not care for the traffic.
‘I saw him go down. A couple of minutes later a woman came. It must have been his mum. She was screaming ‘my son, my son’.
A boy from the neighborhood tells that Nick had gone to meet the boys in the park riding his bike.
Following the incident, number of boys from the adjoining areas have been taken into custody.
This incident takes the number of teenage killings in London this year to 10.
Mail online says “Jamie Dosey-Lee Bieber, who is understood to be Nick’s girlfriend, has the words ‘my ginger’ and ‘I love you baby’ on her Facebook page.”
