Full Title: London murder rate is HIGHER than New York's for the first time ever after TWELVE killings in just 19 days
London's murder rate has overtaken New York City's for the first time ever as the twelfth person has been killed in just 19 days.
February marked the first month in history books that London had more murders than the American city with a total of 15 homicides. Out of the 15 killed, nine were aged 30 or younger.
In March, there were 22 murders, which is likely to match if not beat out New York's numbers.
The murder epidemic continued on Sunday when a man in his twenties was fatally stabbed after leaving a bar in Wandsworth, marking the 12th person to be murdered in London in 19 days.
Police have launched the latest murder investigation in the death of the unnamed young man who was stabbed to death on Easter Sunday.
He suffered a fatal stab wound at around 1:10am on Sunday, after leaving a bar in Wandsworth, south west London.
Met Police attended the scene along with the London Ambulance Service. Despite the best efforts of officers and paramedics, the man was pronounced dead at the scene just before 2am.
Formal identification awaits and a post-mortem examination will take place in due course, but the victim's next-of-kin have been informed.
A 21-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of murder and is currently in custody at a west London police station.
