An 18-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of murder following the fatal stabbing of a 17-year-old boy in north-west London. The incident occurred after a birthday party in Granville Road, Brent, at around 11.30pm on Friday.
The victim was killed during a fight that is believed to have taken place on several nearby roads. Another 17-year-old male and a woman in her early 20s, who suffered a hand injury, were taken to hospital.
The Metropolitan Police have arrested the suspect and are urging anyone who attended the party or witnessed the incident to come forward.
