'No, don't do it': Cries of teen, 16, begging for his life before being stabbed to d****th
A 16-year-old boy was heard screaming for his life before he was fatally stabbed by a gang armed with knives and swords, residents of a well-heeled area of London said today.
The teenager, named locally as Hani Abou El-Kheir, is said to have cried 'don't do it' as he was attacked after tripping while fleeing the gang.
He was stabbed in Pimlico, central London, shortly before 7pm yesterday evening and taken to a nearby hospital, but he died from his injuries two hours later.
Shocked residents living close to the scene on Lupus Street, claimed today that a gang of black and white teenagers were seen carrying out the attack.
Other witnesses have claimed that the victim's mother, named by locals as Pauline Hickey, rushed to the scene and was seen crying as she was kept behind a police cordon.
She is said to have watched as paramedics battled to save her son.
He is the first teenager to be murdered in London this year.
In 2012 eight teenagers were murdered in London, according to Metropolitan Police figures, including six stabbings, one who died from serious head injuries and one teenager who was strangled.
Despite the fact that some of the houses on one side of the street sell for an average of £500,000 the other side of the street is home to a 1970s estate.
Mahmoud Abosiad visited the family today and said: 'He was a lovely boy. He did not deserve to end up on a slab.'
His mother, who is said to live 100 yards from the scene, did not want to comment today but is said to be 'broken-hearted'.
Neighbours this afternoon described the victim as a 'nice boy, polite'.
Rebecca Bartholomew, who lives a few doors down from Hani and his mother, said: 'He always seemed like a nice boy, polite.'
