A 16-year-old boy and an 18-year-old woman have been arrested on suspicion of the murder of Jermaine Goupall, the 15-year-old who was stabbed to death in south London on Tuesday night. “We understand they may be reluctant to do so, they may be in fear or concerned about the investigation or the impact of this incident,” Lynes said. It has since emerged that Goupall was present at that earlier incident. The number of children and teenagers killed in England and Wales between January and July by violence involving knives was 21. Residents in the area where Goupall was stabbed reported months of antisocial behaviour involving gangs in the run-up to the incident.
