A 16-year-old boy has died in hospital after being stabbed in Coventry. Separately, a young man died in a stabbing in Hendon, north London.

Coventry police said they were called to Clay Lane in Stoke at about 10.30pm on Saturday after a member of the public found the teenager collapsed with stab wounds.

Police suspect he may have attended a nearby house party in Chandos Street. The area was sealed off by investigating police.

DI Michelle Allen said: “This is a tragedy, another young man has lost his life. We’re doing all we can to progress our investigation, which is in the very early stages. I’d like to hear from anyone who was at the party or anyone with any information about what has happened this evening to get in touch as soon as they can.”

In the other case, a man in his 20s was fatally stabbed in north London, Scotland Yard said.

Police are investigating after they were called to Parson Street in Hendon, Barnet, at 9pm on Saturday.

No arrests have been made but “urgent enquiries” were ongoing, police said.
