Nick Pearton died in his mother's arms after he was stabbed by a gang of youths and chased in Sydenham. He apparently managed to stumble in to a fast food shop after being stabbed, where his mother came running after being told by her younger son what had happened according to the Daily Mail.

He was pronounced dead after being transported to hospital, and a neighbor told the Mail, that Pearton's mom was so distraught, she was just screaming over and over.

A few male youths have been arrested after the stabbing and witnesses said that they saw a gang of males carrying items like sticks, baseball bats and knives chase Pearton across a park and caught up to him, reportedly stabbing and beating him.

The community is in shock over the incident and the violence,

It is not known what the argument was about, but this brings the number of teenage killings in London in 2010 to 10.

A Facebook memorial group has been set up for Nick Pearton, who also has a Facebook account, and Jamie Dosey-Lee Bieber, who is believed to be Pearton's girlfriend according to the Mail, wrote 'I love you baby' and 'my ginger' on her Facebook page.

Police are still asking for anyone with information about the stabbing to call Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
