Two Dead After London Stabbings

Two teenagers have been killed in separate stabbing incidents in London.

A 19-year-old man received fatal knife wounds at 7.30pm on Thursday night, at High Weald Service Station in Wealdstone, north-west London, police have said.

Another man, also aged 19, also suffered stab wounds to the torso.

He is said to be in a stable condition in hospital.

Three hours later, an 18-year-old man was found with stab wounds opposite Maryland railway station in Stratford, east London.

He died in hospital.

A Scotland Yard spokesman said: "Police and London ambulance service attended and discovered an 18-year-old male suffering from a stab wound to the torso. He was taken to Royal London hospital but died shortly after arriving."

Detectives believe the victim may have been targeted as part of gang-related violence.

The deaths occurred on the same day three teenagers were stabbed in a suspected gang fight.

The boys, aged 16 and 17, were attacked in Kings Road, Chingford, east London.
