		</div><p>A 15-year-old boy stabbed to death in London on Tuesday night has been named. Jermaine Goupall was the second teenager to be killed in a knife attack in the capital in less than 24 hours &#8211; and the 15th so far this year.</p>
<p>A murder investigation has been launched after the latest incident, which took place in Thornton Heath, south London, on Tuesday night. His grief-stricken family, gathered in their family home a short distance from the scene in Georgia Road, said they were too upset to talk.</p>
<p>A forensic tent remained in place on Wednesday afternoon while uniformed officers kept guard at the edge of the cordon in heavy rain. An elderly neighbour who knew the boy said: &#8220;He was a nice lad, I would see him to speak to in the street and he would come over and stroke my dog, say hello.</p>
<p>&#8220;I know his dad, Stan, better. &#8220;It seems desperately sad that this can happen to such an innocent boy.&#8221;<br />
Other shocked local people, including youngsters gathered near the scene, said they believed the death to be gang-related.</p>
<p>Another, Nadir Sheikh, who has lived opposite the road where the stabbing took place for the last three years, said: &#8220;There are always a lot of kids hanging around in groups here. There was another incident here a few weeks ago so the police came around then too.</p>
<p>&#8220;I think there needs to be more police presence, surveillance, a way to stop this happening.&#8221;<br />
Another neighbour said: &#8220;I was in my house and I heard a police helicopter at around midnight.<br />
&#8220;I&#8217;ve seen on the news that it was a 15-year-old boy; it&#8217;s just so sad.&#8221;</p>
<p>The victim &#8211; who has not yet been formally identified by police &#8211; was pronounced dead at the scene shortly before midnight. The death follows the fatal stabbing of a 19-year-old man in Peckham, south-east London, in the early hours of Tuesday. Police were called to a disturbance in Old Kent Road at around 2am and detectives believe the victim was involved in an altercation involving a large group of people outside a nearby venue. </p>
<p>Six people were arrested on suspicion of murder, although three have been released with no further action taken against them, while two were released pending a police investigation. The sixth person remains in custody.</p>
<p>Witnesses have spoken of seeing the teenager &#8220;being mobbed&#8221; by a crowd. He was pronounced dead at the scene at 2.50am. Post-mortem examinations are due to be held for both teenagers. Detectives from the Metropolitan Police&#8217;s homicide and major crime command are investigating both murders.</p>
<p>The stabbings follow a spate of knife attacks in the capital this year, which has seen more than a dozen victims suffer fatal or serious stab wounds.</p>
