<p>Jodie Chesney, 17, died at the scene in Harold Hill, east London, just over an hour after police were called to the park at 9:25pm.</p>
<p>The suspect who attacked Jodie is described as a black male aged in his late teens, the Metropolitan Police said on Sunday.</p>

<p>There was no description given of the other male who approached Jodie and her five teenage friends while they were playing music.</p>
<p>The group were aware of the two males being in the park and saw them leave at around 9pm, police said.</p>
<p>“Around 30 minutes later the pair returned to the park and walked straight towards the group, where one of the males stabbed Jodie once in the back,” a statement from the force said.</p>
<p>“Nothing was said by the two suspects, who ran off in the direction of Retford Road,” it added.</p>
<p>A post-mortem carried out on Sunday established that the cause of Jodie’s death was trauma and haemorrhage, and police released a photograph of the teenager on the same day.</p>

<p>Detective Chief Inspector Dave Whellams, who is leading the investigation, appealed for witnesses to come forward.</p>
<p>He said: “Although the description of the suspect is limited, I am certain that people will have seen the two males hanging around the park or running away from the scene — or will otherwise have noticed something suspicious.</p>
<p>“I need those people to call me.”</p>
<p>Jodie’s uncle Dave Chesney told ITV News on Sunday that the family had lost a “beautiful, lovely and quirky” girl.</p>
<p>Mr Chesney said Jodie was the daughter of his youngest brother Pete, adding: “We value your support and prayers at this time especially for our brother Pete, his wife Jo and Jodie’s sister Lucy.</p>
<p>“Also for the friends that were with her at the time.”</p>
<p>Posting on Facebook on Saturday, Jodie’s grandmother Debbie Chesney said too many young people were having their lives “cut short by needless violence”.</p>
<p>She echoed calls for people to come forward with information.</p>
