Rishmeet Singh, 16, a carer for his mother, left a group of friends on his way home to Southall, west London, when Vanushan Balakrishnan, 17, and Ilyas Suleiman, 17, started running towards him.
He had just spent an enjoyable evening with his friends and was making the short walk home when he was callously chased down and knifed to death by Balakrishnan and Suleiman, said Detective Inspector Laura Semple, from the Metropolitan Polices Specialist Crime Command.The police said that between them, the two teens stabbed Singh 15 times while he was defenceless on the floor.There is never an excuse to murder someone in cold blood, but this case is made even more tragic by the fact that Rishmeet was wrongly targeted by his attackers.
