Police launched a murder investigation after Micah Whitely died in hospital following a stabbing on High Road, Wembley, just before 1pm on Monday. Paramedics battled to save his life in front of horrified shoppers near a Post Office."
"He told the Metro: It was terrifying, it was like they were running for their lives. Wembley is busy and there were mothers with prams and kids around some people were screaming.
