These are the 15 teenagers who have been killed in London so far this year.

Communities across the capital have been rocked by the deaths of these teens, 13 of whom were stabbed to death while two were shot.

They make up almost a fifth of the 79 people killed in London so far in 2023.

The latest victim, 15-year-old Elianne Andam, was attacked on her way to school in Croydon on Wednesday morning.

Croydon itself was referred to as ‘London’s knife crime capital’ after five teenagers were fatally stabbed there in 2021, Sky News reports.

These are the 14 other London teenagers who have died far too young.
