A teenager has been stabbed to death in the latest violent killing to take place in the capital.

The Metropolitan Police were called to Paddington Green, at 9.10pm last night, where they found the 19-year-old victim.

Despite the efforts of emergency services, he was later pronounced dead at the scene.

Police said the victim’s next of kin have been informed.

Officers have arrested two men as part of their investigation, Essex Police said.

The force added: “From our initial enquiries, we believe he was attacked near The Peterboat pub in High Street, Old Leigh.

“Two people have been arrested in connection with our investigation.”
