TEEN DIES IN STREET STABBING

Promising footballer, 18, knifed three times in fight

A COMMUNITY is in shock following the murder of 18-year-old Tommy Winston in Kentish Town on Tuesday night.
Tommy – a well-known former pupil of Acland Burghley School and a popular figure on the Peckwater estate in Islip Street, Kentish Town – was stabbed to death during a fight in Brecknock Road shortly after 9pm.
It is the second fatal stabbing in as many weeks. Amanda Cummings, 27, died just three days before Christmas after being stabbed on the College Place Estate, in Royal College Street, less than a mile away
Detectives believe Tommy knew his killer, who smashed the window of his Ford Fiesta before stabbing him and leaving him for dead on the pavement near the Unicorn pub. An air ambulance was unable to save him and he was pronounced dead at the scene.
Officers say they are keeping an open mind about the motive but are understood to be investigating the possibility that the stabbing related to a dispute over cash between friends that escalated into tit-for-tat acts of petty criminal damage until it ended in tragedy. They have urged the killer, who has gone into hiding, to give himself up.
