Water pistol fight ended in death

This is the last picture of knife victim Freddy Moody taken just two hours before he was stabbed to death after a water pistol play fight apparently turned violent.

Freddy, 18, can be seen holding a harmless giant water pistol as he larks around with his friends in the photo taken at 4.48pm on Thursday.

They were taking part in the organised Summer Splash water fight in Holland Park.

But friends claim a row erupted with a gang and Freddy was killed yards from his home in Stockwell shortly after 7pm after going back to change his soaking clothes. He was ambushed by a gang of up to eight who then escaped on bicycles.

On Saturday a 27-year-old man was stabbed to death after leaving a house party in north London.

Elliot Guy was attacked in Tufnell Park after an argument at a party in Junction Road. He died later in Whittington Hospital.
