Paramedics fought to save victim in street close to house where he was attacked
A SILENT killer sat beside an 18-year-old as he repeatedly stabbed him to death, according to an eyewitness.
Two young girls watched in horror as the knifeman chased the “humble and polite” teen as he ran for his life along a street in Hayes, west London.
The teenager then collapsed and the killer then sat beside him and continued to stab him in the back, an eyewitness said.
A neighbour in her 50s said today she then yelled for the killer to stop.
The 18-year-old is the seventh teenager to be murdered in London this year.
The woman, who has lived in the area for more than a decade, said: “I was screaming and shouting at the boy to stop what he was doing.
“The victim was running away from him.
“He ran up Gledwood Gardens and he took a turn around the tree and came up the road. That’s when I
saw blood on his back.
“He was running for his life. When I saw the blood on his back I picked up my phone.
“I picked up the phone and I saw the boy on the ground and the other one sitting there next to him stabbing him more.
“I shouted, ‘Oi, stop it’ and called 999.
“He was sat on the floor. The other one had multiple stab wounds on him. The blade was slashing about like anything.
“He still carried on even though the white boy fell down.
“He was quiet. He was totally quiet. They were not saying anything.
“I didn’t even think of my safety, whether he would come for me afterwards.
“I didn’t sleep all night. I’m totally shocked.
“He walked off. He had the knife in his right hand and he just walked off. He didn’t even run.
He didn’t walk very fast – it was like nothing had happened.
“He was just so calm.”
Emergency services were called shortly before 4pm on Monday but despite efforts to resuscitate the man, he died at the scene.
Scotland Yard said the argument started in a home on Gledwood Gardens and the pair were known to each other.
