Witnesses said Nedim Bilgin, 17, was repeatedly stabbed with a large ‘Rambo-style’ knife when a fight broke out on Tuesday evening after a row with a gang.

Wounded Nedim – who was just a few hundred yards from his home in Islington, North London – tried to stagger into a nearby shop before collapsing to the pavement.

Andrea Alexander said: ‘Before the ambulance arrived there were three men trying to save his life, and his friends ran to his house to get his mum, who arrived soon after.’

Ben Lynch, 18, a lifeguard who gave first aid to Nedim, told the London Evening Standard: ‘I was at a bar across the road and heard a bunch of people screaming.

I sprinted across the road and saw blood all over the pavement and this boy bleeding out. I lifted up his shirt and started pressing down. I tried giving him CPR. I did as much as I could to help him.’

Police confirmed Nedim was stabbed several times and that two knives were later recovered from the scene. 

Witness Christopher Chambers-Russell saw Nedim’s mother and father arrive just over an hour after the stabbing outside a Ladbrokes bookmakers, and duck under the police tape cordon around their son’s body. 

‘Nobody but a mother could cry the way she was,’ he said. ‘It was heartbreaking. 

‘A man I thought was his father pushed under the tape then the mother followed before they were stopped by police. 

‘The young guy’s body was just lying in the street under a sheet outside the shops, and they were wailing as they tried to get to him.’ 

Three teens, aged 16, 17 and 18, have been arrested on suspicion of murder. Nedim is the second teenager, and eighth person, to be killed in the capital since the early hours of January 1 this year.

The post Moment horrified parents are held back by police as they try to reach their son, 17, as he lay dying in the street after being fatally stabbed over his bicycle in eighth murder in the capital this year appeared first on Daily Concord.

Darren Pencille, 35, from Farnham, Surrey, is accused of stabbing Lee Pomeroy, 51, nine times on the South Western Railway service from Guildford to Waterloo last Friday lunchtime in an attack caught on CCTV. 

Pencille’s girlfriend Chelsea Mitchell, 27, allegedly drove him to safety as he fled Clandon Station and helped change his appearance as police hunted for him.

There was speculation at the weekend that a ‘trivial’ row broke out between Pencille and Mr Pomeroy after the pair accidentally bumped into each other as they boarded the train. 

Today the murder suspect decided to sit on the floor of the glass dock at Staines Magistrates’ Court, claiming he was ‘hearing voices’ and was ‘too paranoid’ to stand up. 

Wearing a grey tracksuit and black, thick-rimmed glasses, Pencille was heard muttering ‘get me out of here’ to the two security guards flanking him.

As he was taken away he told chair of the bench Helen Mattey: ‘I’m innocent until proven guilty’. 

Pencille, who is charged with murder and possessing an offensive weapon, did not enter any pleas and said he had no fixed abode.

But police said when they charged him on Sunday he lived with Chelsea Mitchell, 27, who was also before magistrates accused of assisting an offender.

Both appeared again at Guildford Crown Court this afternoon and they were remanded in custody to appear again at the same court on February 7. 

Police suspect she helped Pencille escape the Home Counties village of Clandon after he fled from the train minutes after the attack.
