Frederick Moody Boateng, an 18 year old teenager was stabbed to death on the streets of south London
on Thursday 17 July. He was a quiet, handsome young man with a bright future ahead of him. He was
his mother's only son. Freddy was the 21st person to die violently in London so far this year.
He was stabbed to death in South Lambeth, near his home.
Mary Moody said Frederick was a much-loved son stabbed to death after a row over a water fight has
spoken of the "senseless and meaningless loss." His mother Mary Moody, spoke as about
300 people gathered for a vigil at the scene of the murder on Guildford Road.
A line of water guns were left on Guildford Road along with more than 50 bunches of flowers and
notes from friends.
Ms Moody said he was a much-loved son who "filled our lives with cheerfulness, laughter and
joy". "We are extremely devastated by this tragic, senseless and meaningless loss at the
tender age of 18," she added. "We draw strength from the love and care he lavished on
us. We take courage from the memories of a good man who stood out for his good character."

Church ministers from across south London attended the vigil on 24 July and several of them called
for an end to knife crime.
One said: "We as a society have to rally against knife and gun crime. Our young people must
stop taking the law into their own hands."
The family led the mourners on an "anti-knife crime march" in memory of Mr Moody Boateng.
Many of them donned orange T-shirts for the third-of-a-mile (480 metres) walk, to Stockwell Tube
station and back, as it was the teenager's favourite colour.
Two of his college friends held up a large banner, with the words: "In memory of Freddie!
Please stop the knife crime."
Mr Moody Boateng, a former business student at Kingston College, became the 21st teenager to die in
violent circumstances in London this year.

Three charged over teen stabbing

LONDON (Reuters) - Three young men have been charged with murdering a teenager who was stabbed to death in London last week, police said on Saturday.
Freddy Moody, 18, was found suffering a wound to his abdomen following reports of a fight in Guildford Road, south Lambeth, last Thursday.
He was later pronounced dead in hospital, becoming the 21st teenager to be killed violently in the capital this year.
Detectives said they had charged Jeffrey Adu-Sarfo, 18, Shane Isaacs, 21 and a 17-year-old youth with murder. They are due to appear at Camberwell Magistrates Court later on Saturday.
Knife crime has become a top political issue following a spate of violent deaths, mostly stabbings, on the streets of London so far this year.
Official figures released last week revealed there were more than 22,000 serious offences in England and Wales involving knives in 2007-8, although crime fell significantly overall.

If tears could build a stairway
And memories were a lane
We would walk right up to Heaven
And bring you back again
No farewell words were spoken
No time to say goodbye
You were gone before we knew it
And only God knows why
Our hearts still ache in sadness
And secret tears still flow
What it meant to lose you
No one will ever know
But now we know you want us
To mourn for you no more
To remember all the happy times
Life still has much in store
Since you'll never be forgotten
We pledge to you today
A hallowed place
within our hearts
Is where you'll always stay

A light is gone from our household
A light is from our household gone.
A voice we loved is stilled,
A place is vacant in our home which never can be filled.
God gave us a beautiful son, brother, cousin and friend.
A brother who never grew old.
You were always there with a helping hand
Help us now to accept His plan.
We miss you now, our hearts are sore
As time goes by, we miss you more
Your loving smile, your gentle face
No one can take our brother’s place.
May the Choirs of Angels receive you and may you have rest and peace everlasting. Amen
FOREVER IN GHANAIAN THOUGHTS IN OUR HEARTS
