LONDON: A 16-year-old boy Ashmeet Singh who died after being stabbed in Hounslow last night (November 24) has been pictured for the first time.

Ashmeet Singh died after being stabbed on a residential street in Southall, West London. Police were called to Raleigh Road at 9.07 pm on Wednesday to report a stabbing.

Despite the best efforts of emergency services, Ashmeet died at the scene a short time later. Sources said that his friends believe Ashmeet was stabbed over a fake Gucci pouch he always wore.
