This happened just down the street from where I live. It's unbelievable how many youth murders there have been in London this year.

EastEnders star Brooke Kinsella was in mourning last night after her 16-year-old brother was knifed to death.

Model student Ben Kinsella was killed in the street as he was chased by a mob of baying youths from a fight outside a bar at 2am.

The easy-going teenager, known by his friends as Gentle Ben, had been celebrating the end of his GCSE exams.

He was the 17th youngster to be murdered in London this year.

Brooke, 24, who played Kelly Taylor in the TV soap, was "devastated".

Which part of London though and which bar? The earlier Hollyoaks murder was near me in Lee, East London.
