Oooh... we've got our first fatal stabbing in London for 2021, isn't The Sun newspaper happy.
Quote:‘Innocent’ boy, 17, who is first teen fatally knifed in London this year, was ‘trying to help pal get
stolen bag back’
'The first teen murdered in London this year was stabbed to death as he helped a pal get his stolen bag back.
"Innocent" Anas Mezenner, 17, was attacked by thugs as he rushed to his friend's aid just yards from his home
in Haringey, North London, last night.
Anas Mezenner and the usual sight in the UK capital, a forensic-tent.
The teen was taken to hospital where he tragically passed away shortly after with his heartbroken mum by his side.
Police have now launched a murder probe but have not yet made any arrests. A horrified friend said Anas had two
brothers and two sisters and was well liked among everybody at the youth club where he helped out.
He added: "He was such a good guy, he was totally innocent.
"He was at home the entire day until his friend called him out because his phone got stolen.
"The phone got stolen so they called their friends out and thought maybe a fist fight to get it back.
"But it turned out the others straight away attacked them with knives.
"A friend of mine saw them with bottles and hammers. It was premeditated. His friends were terrified too.
They all ran off and he was the only one who got hurt."
The friend revealed the college student's dad is waiting for a Covid test so he can fly from his native Algeria to
be with his devastated family. Terrified witnesses saw the blood-covered teenager crouched on the ground
before emergency crews showed up to administer CPR.
They also reported a trail of blood on the street where a forensic tent remains in place.
Hospitality worker Dario Trentini, 36, said: "I was cycling last when I saw there was a boy leaning back against the
fence crouched down. "He was almost dead, he looked white as a lamb.
"There was blood everywhere and there was a hammer on the floor next to him, like a household hammer.
"Then there was a trail of blood in the next street where I think it must've happened.
"He was very young, he looked about 17 or 18. I went to help but then the police arrived.
"I've been living here for five years and this is the second time something like this has happened."
Anas is the seventh person to be murdered in the capital this year, but the first teenager.
A total of 17 teenagers were murdered in London last year, the most recent of whom was 15-year-old Kayjon Lubin,
who was fatally stabbed in the chest in North Woolwich six weeks ago on December 11...'
