This is the first picture of a teenager stabbed to death yards from where his cousin was murdered in 2019.

Ahmed Beker, 19, was stabbed to death in Paddington Green, a small park off the busy Edgware Road at 9.15pm on Friday.

Paramedics fought in vain for 45 minutes trying to save the young man’s life.

His family, who lived nearby, said they turned up at the scene to find paramedics working on him but were not allowed near.

They revealed that Mr Beker was murdered on the same stretch of road as his cousin Josiph Beker in 2019.
