This is 15-year-old Kasey Gordon, the second teenager to be murdered in London this year.

Gordon was stabbed to death in Tottenham, north London, yesterday. Three other boys - aged 14, 15 and 16 - were also stabbed, but their injuries are not thought to be life-threatening.

19 teenagers were murdered in London last year.

Note: Don't Die Before You've Lived is a series of ongoing entries recording the murders of teenagers in London. Although not necessarily GBLT-related, the desperately premature loss of these young boys deserves our full attention. Please take a minute to remember their names, their faces, and spare a thought for these kids who really did die before they lived.
