Ten teenagers have been murdered in London this year.
Nicholas Paerton was stabbed and beaten up by ten attackers on wednesday night. The gang were armed with knives, bats and sticks. Nicholas staggered to a fast food shop, where his mum comforted him, before the paramedics arrived. He later died in hospital.
Seven males aged between fourteen and twenty-one have been arrested.
