A fine arts student who attended a private school in Hampstead has been named as one of the suspected graffiti artists who died on Monday morning after being hit by a train.

Harrison Scott-Hood, 23, is believed to have been taking part in a street art project on a dangerous part of the tracks near Loughborough Junction when he was hit by a train alongside two other boys.

His friends, Alberto Fresneda Carrasco, 19, and Jack Gilbert, 23, also lost their lives in the accident.

Mr Scott-Hood’s parents, Perry and Susie, have since described their son as a “kind and beautiful young man” in a tribute released through the British Transport Police (BTP).

“We are completely heartbroken by the loss of our only son, Harrison," they said.
