A 15-YEAR-OLD boy has been stabbed to death in East London and another teen seriously injured in a separate knife and “acid attack” in the west of the capital.
Cops have launched a murder investigation after a schoolboy was found with shocking knife injuries in Newham just before 7pm.
Despite the efforts of the emergency services, he was pronounced dead at the scene.
Police said his next of kin have been informed and no arrests have been made.
A short while earlier, a 17-year-old male was knifed in Hounslow and also left with horror injuries caused by a “corrosive substance.”
He was taken to a west London hospital where his injuries are believed to be life threatening.
So far there have been no arrests but an investigation into the sickening attack is underway.
Several roads in the vicinity of Whitton Road will remain closed while officers conduct enquiries.
