Murder hunt after 16-year-old stabbed at party

An ambulance was called at around 1.30am on Sunday to a block of flats in Wandsworth, South London where a youth was lying in a ground floor stairwell.

Paramedics were unable to save the boy and he was declared dead at the scene. A manslaughter investigation was launched by Scotland Yard.

A number of people have been arrested in connection with the inquiry and are now in custody at various police stations in south and central London.

But police are seeking information about a group of up to eight males who fled from the flats at Albon House in Neville Gill Close.

An incident room was opened at Sutton police station under Detective Chief Inspector Nick Scola of the Homicide and Serious Crime Command.

DCI Scola said: "I believe the victim had attended a party in Albon House. I need to trace everyone at that party, and in particular I am appealing for any information about a group of between five and eight males seen running from the scene into the surrounding streets and possibly through King George's Park."

The victim's family has been informed and a post mortem conducted but officers were still awaiting formal identification last night.

Any witnesses or anyone with information is asked to call the incident room on 020 8721 4005 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.

EVERETT -- Police on Wednesday were canvassing the View Ridge-Madison neighborhood in Everett after a man was found dead there the night before. A neighbor spotted the man on the ground outside a vacant house at 22 Madison St. He called 911 about 6:20 p.m. The man had obvious signs of trauma to his torso, police said. He looked to be in his late 20s or early 30s. The Everett Major Crimes Unit is investigating the death as a homicide, Lt. Robert Goetz said. Detectives declined to say more about how they believe the man may have died. There are no identified suspects or motives. Detectives received a search warrant around 11:45 p.m. Tuesday and collected evidence at the scene. They returned Wednesday afternoon to look for clues in the daylight, Goetz said.

Published: Thursday, August 23, 2012, 5:55 p.m. MONROE -- Detectives believe a 7-year-old Monroe boy's parents should face second-degree manslaughter charges in connection with his January overdose death. Monroe police this week wrapped up their probe into the boy's Jan. 30 death and forwarded the case to prosecutors to decide if his parents should face criminal charges. Snohomish County deputy prosecutor Lisa Paul likely will begin reviewing the case in the coming days. She doesn't expect to make a charging decision in the near future, however. "It's quite an extensive investigation, and I want to review it thoroughly before I make any decision," she said. The boy, identified as "A.J." in court papers, ingested a lethal amount of salicylates, a chemical common in aspirin and other over-the-counter drugs. The medical examiner declined to conduct an autopsy on the boy, making it difficult to determine how the drug ended up in the boy's system. A
