A teenager from Chatham was stabbed to death in south London, it has been revealed.

Officers from the Met Police were called to reports of a man injured in Heather Way, South Croydon on Tuesday at 7.40pm.

London Ambulance Service and London's Air Ambulance also attended and discovered the teenager suffering stab injuries. He was taken to hospital where he later died.

Next of kin are now aware and the victim can be named as 19-year-old Andre Aderemi.

It is believed Andre had moved to the area recently and had returned to Croydon to visit friends when he was attacked.

His sister Sheniqua has set up a GoFundMe site to raise money for his funeral.

Writing on the page, she paid tribute to her brother and said: "He was a passionate for his loved ones and had a priceless heart."

More than 100 friends and relatives of the teenager attended a memorial church service on the Croydon estate last night.

His mother, Yemi Hughes, is reported to have told the congregation: “I’ve lost my baby. He’s my everything, my rock... my other two boys are broken.”

It is understood that Andre was an amateur rapper and said to be friends with two other young musicians stabbed to death in south London in the past three months.

Yesterday, a 19-year-old was arrested on suspicion of murder and remains in custody at a south London police station.

Two other men, also 19, arrested on suspicion of murder in the early hours of Wednesday, remain in custody at separate south London police stations.
