It's appalling and tragic that a teenage boy was fatally stabbed in a part of South London I know well. His loved ones are in my thoughts.
I'm in close contact with senior Met officers - please call 101 or contact @CrimestoppersUK if you have information. https://t.co/pOTQlpx6eU— Sadiq Khan (@SadiqKhan) October 29, 2020
A Section 60 Order, which gives police greater stop and search powers, was authorised for the whole of Wandsworth following the incident.
London Mayor Sadiq Khan called the stabbing “appalling and tragic” and said he was in close contact with police over the incident.
