A 16-year-old boy has been stabbed to death in north London.

Scotland Yard said the victim had been "chased around the square by a number of suspects" before being stabbed repeatedly.

A murder investigation has been launched and a crime scene remains in place. No arrests have been made.

Det Ch Insp Paul Healy said the attackers had fled in a vehicle "which was discovered burnt out nearby".
