A 16-year-old schoolboy was stabbed stabbed to death in one of London‘s most exclusive suburbs minutes before midnight on New Year’s Eve.
Police say the victim was attacked on Primrose Hill – where big crowds had gathered to watch London Eye’s firework display – at around 11.40pm on New Year’s Eve.
Officers administered First Aid before paramedics and a helicopter ambulance arrived but the boy, who has not been named, was pronounced dead at the scene shortly before midnight.
Detectives say the area was ‘busy’ with New Year revellers at the time as Primrose Hill offers one of the best views of London Eye’s New Year’s Eve firework displays.
The victim’s devastated family are being supported by specialist officers.
Metropolitan Police Officers have cordoned off the area in the park where the incident occurred.
A man has been arrested on suspicion of murder and remains in custody, the police said.
Extensive cordons remain in place as scenes of crime officers conduct a fingertip search.
The area is well known as a desirable place to live with its big park and long list of celebrity residents.
Jude Law, Daniel Craig, Kate Moss and celebrity chef Jamie Oliver all call Primrose Hill home.
The victim was the 22nd teenager to be killed in London in 2023, 18 of whom were fatally stabbed.
A Met Police spokesman said: ‘Officers administered First Aid before London Ambulance Service and London’s Air Ambulance paramedics arrived.
‘Despite their efforts, the victim, believed to be a 16-year-old boy, was sadly pronounced dead shortly before midnight.’
He added: ‘Extensive police cordons remain in place as officers conduct forensic examinations of the scene and the surrounding area.
‘Officers believe the area was busy with people at the time. If you saw what happened or have information, mobile phone footage or other material that can help us, please call 101.’
