A murder investigation has been launched following a stabbing in neighbouring Lambeth.

Police were called at 19.38 on Monday April 4 to reports of a stabbing in Hicken Road, SW2.

16-year-old Rommel McKoy was found suffering stab injuries by officers and the London Ambulance Service.

He was taken to hospital where he later died on April 20.

The Met is now investigating Rommel's murder.

A 16-year-old boy (A) was arrested on Friday April 15 and a 17-year-old boy (B) was arrested on Wednesday April 20.

Both have been bailed until mid-May.

Detective Chief Inspector Sal Minhas, from the Specialist Crime Command, said: "A 16-year-old boy has lost his life and his family deserve answers to their questions about what happened to him.

"I want to reassure Rommel's family that we are committed to bringing the person or people responsible to justice.

"Thank you to everyone who has spoken to police already about this incident. If you have not already contacted us, it is now even more vital that you do so without delay. Please let my team be the judge of what is important as you may have information that will be key to our investigation."

Detective Superintendent Neerav Patel of the Met's Central South BCU said: "The Met is making significant progress in reducing violence in London, but tragedies like this senseless murder remind us all that there is much more to do. Local people will have seen additional officers in the area in recent weeks.

"The thoughts of my colleagues and I are with Rommel's family and particularly his grieving mother. Met officers will be available to support her for so long as we are needed."
