A 15-year-old boy who was stabbed to death on a London street in broad daylight has been named by police.
Adam John Henry was killed on Westbourne Road, Islington, last Tuesday. Police rushed to the scene alongside the London Ambulance Service and London’s Air Ambulance, who treated the teenager for stab wounds just after 1pm. Tragically, despite the efforts of medical staff, he died later that afternoon.
In a written statement, Adam’s family said: “Our beautiful son, Adam, was cruelly taken away from us on Tuesday afternoon. He was a loving son, brother, nephew, grandson, friend and we will never recover from the loss and not having him in our lives.
“He had many interests and was always there with a smile and cheeky sense of humour. He was good natured and loyal. While only 15 years old, the beautiful memories we have of him can never be forgotten. We ask for privacy as a family so we can grieve and try to process this senseless tragedy together.
“We also request that as this is an active homicide investigation and a broken-hearted family and community, that you refrain from speculation and allow the police to do their job.”
