JAKARTA - A 19-year-old teenager was stabbed to death in a street fight in the Whalebone Lane South residential area, East London, England. This murder did not take long from the shooting of a teenager who was cycling in the same city.

"Officers came and found a man with stab wounds. Despite the efforts of officers and paramedics from the London Ambulance Service, the 38-year-old man died tragically at the scene," said Inspector Alex Ogilvie, Monday, May 6, quoted from Metro.co.uk.

He said the police had deployed members of the colonial specialists to the scene to uncover the perpetrators and motives of the crime.

"We will cooperate with colleagues at the Specialist Crime Command in their investigation, and you will see officers in the area in the coming days," he said.

Ogilvie hopes that local people who know about this incident will immediately report it to the police. He guarantees that the reporter will be protected if he is worried about his safety.

"I encourage the public to speak to the Specialist Crime Command about anything you know, as well as any worries you may have," he said.

The police said that until now they have continued to investigate and have not arrested the alleged perpetrator.

The stabbing incident involved a group of people who first fought with the victim in the Whalebone Lane South residential area, at around 17:20 on Sunday 5 May local time.

The attackers then fled in three cars leaving the victim in critical condition.

The stabbing took place after a cyclist was shot dead in Dagenham, East London, on Thursday, May 2.
