Water fight 'linked to stab death'
6:07pm Friday 18th July 2008
Friends of a teenager stabbed to death yards from his home in Lambeth, London, said he may have been attacked over a minor insult during a water fight.
A gang of up to eight hooded youths is believed to have lain in wait for 18-year-old Frederick Moody outside his home.
Former school friends said the teenager, known as Freddy, spent the afternoon at a funfair in Holland Park.
Detectives were investigating whether a row at the funfair led to a street fight and then the fatal stabbing.
One of Freddy's friends, who gave his name as Babs, left a water gun at the scene of the attack in Guildford Road.
He said: "The last time I saw him was at the end of this road at around six - he seemed happy. We had been to a water fight, along with many others from around London, at Holland Park.
"The next thing I knew was that he had been stabbed. I received a phone call. Police should be out there stopping this from happening, his other friends are feeling shocked and many of us have been crying all afternoon."
Freddy became the 21st teenager to be murdered in London this year after he was stabbed in the stomach just yards from his front door near Stockwell Tube Station.
He later died at St Thomas' Hospital.
Detectives investigating the murder were questioning a 16-year-old arrested at his home in nearby Brixton.
