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.

Saw you once
To be honnest all u people have no respect 4 the dead. U should all know newspaper print what they wanna print cz dats how they make their money. Eventhough the SUN published such crap as they always known for that it up to the uneducated individuals who purchase it to believe it. If it was soooo true why wasn't it in the Telegraph??? To be honnest even if he was which is his own family tellin u hes not what buisness is it of yrz? If some1 in your family had died would u like some1 to b badmouthing them. (i guess not). Freddy R.I.P forget all those people who u throught were yr bredrins cz its not worth it. At the end of the day all that matters is you gone to a better place and been taken out of all the distructions of society. I feel for you mum because all she wanted was to see her beautiful son grow up and provide her with grandchildren.
To Freddy mother: As a fellow ghannian i understand that ther is no words anyone can say to bring Freddy back put all you have to do is pray he is in a better place. The last thing he wants is for you to break down. He is watchin over you and his sister.
R.I.P Freddy you were loved by many and HATED on by others XxxxxxxxX

ellie x
its a see u later frederick prince kofi moody not a goodbye
and for people with all the negative tributes please think about this young mans family and friends who will read these its not nice they are grieving and they dont need your comments makin them feel any worse!
rip soldier!
I am so angry and disgusted that so many people can be so disrespectful. It makes me feel physically sick to see people leaving such vile and racist comments on a tribute page for someone whose family is grieving over his tragic death.
I feel ashamed to see such foul comments, how could someone be so ignorant and uncultured. I can tell you what NEGATIVE contributions your ancestors made to Africa. Filthy white men came to Africa and abused vulnerable women and helped spread the disease.
I suppose the uncivilized corruption was passed down through the generations.
Not that colour really matters but in case you think I’m racist I’m not even black, but reading comments like that makes me feel ashamed. Only a British person could perpetrate such a deplorable act of ignorance.
Also yes, they can spell, in case you didn't know it's the law to go to school, is there a problem with young people writing short-hand because as far as I’m aware this tribute page was written for your benefit AND it isn't only black people that write like that, FOOL.
Anyway, back to the point the reason I came here. I just wanted to say how heartbroken I am over Freddie’s death, I only wanted to leave a tribute but now feel obliged after the comments these cretins have left to say what a lovely person Freddy was.
Freddie was NOT a drug dealer; I can't believe people would contrive such a load of B****** at a time like this.
Freddie may not have completed college or got his A levels, but he was an intelligent boy. He was in all the top classes at school. If he had only been given the time and not been snatched from us, he would have got far in life. He was such a funny, caring and loveable person. Everyone that knew him loved him. Anyone that really knew him would only have the nicest things to say about him.
No1 deserves to die but especially not such a gentle, kind hearted person.
I'm going to miss you Freddy, at least you're in a better place. XxX
you have no shame! rest in peace prince freddy
freddy , im sad to say it took ur passing for me to see how special you were, your truly an angel in disguise. the amount of people showing love and have nothing but good things to say about u is asthonishing.
even people you did not know are affected.
i love you so much , i cant believe these people are writing these things about you. the newspapers are lying such as the evening standard and the sun they should be sued for such mis interpretation. the media for not giving you enough air time! you deserve an HOUR special. as i do not want to hear about the credit crunch that they probably caused on themselves. i mean why , its bad enough that you was taken away too soon and the system is wack so justice probably wont even be done and then these iggnorant and evil hearted people with respect or remorse are talking trash about you on a condolence page where your friends and family can see. it breaks my heart. but god has plans for those .
on the note that i came here for
im missing you so much , the late night calls the texts the msn chats the jokes everything that was freddy moody i miss, ur voice is forever on my mind, you will always have my heart forever , im going to hold u in here forever. the way i wish you could have achieved all your goals like the plans you had , im happy you shared those with me.. i will aim for the best for me jsut for you fred. who am i gna play games with online now? who will make me laugh who will i turn to who will care how i am when im lonely?
its strange how now your gone i never knew how we both knew the same people.
freddy i cant go on writing ive broken down once again.. i feel so empty now a days, as for your family your mother who is a lovely woman your father and sisters and brothes and the whole fam. im praying for im thinking of , i cant imagine your pain i can only pray that god guides you to some sort of balence where you have strength .
may god bless the true definiftion of a prince that was freddy and also his family. r.i.p freddy i love you so much

Stop Chatting... It was all a lie!!!
This is a message from Freddie's real family, I am his sister and i just want to say to all of you inconsiderate disrespectful people calling Freddie a drugdealer... all of you can shut up cause that article written in the Sun newspaper was a complete lie. There were no drugs found on Freddie by the police because the police only just got all of the things he had on him this afternoon... so what was written in the newspaper was a lie and we will be making a formal complaint against the Sun newspaper to retract their article... and this is with the full support of the chief investigating officer on the case.
We will not stand for people coming on tribute websites referring to Freddie as a drug dealer because he was not one. So if you do not have a genuine tribute to make, here's some advice... Don't make one!!!
One of Gods children
please to the people on this site,show compassion for the death of a young man taken by cowards on our streets.Also i would like to comment about race we are all tarnished by the same brush,and it would fit people better to stop going on about slavery,as we all sufferd over the world,not just one race.Also have a good look round you the Asian community,setting exsample's to this country 'yes everyone to intressted in dealing drugs' getting their life taken for what.PLEASE PLEASE !!! WAKEN UP. time to stand up and be counted as one get back to your christan church were you belong weather CATHOLIC X PROTESTANT X CHRISTIAN.SO lets think about moving forward and look to the brighter future and call on GOD yes GOD and he will change your life for ever.ive said all i can say now ,so lets remember FREDERICK * PRINCE X KOFI + (FRIDAY) MOODY.RIP

Don't let people coming on here disrespecting freddy upset you as long as you knew the type of person he was don't let people's words get the best of you!!!! Because at the end of the day I bet u the people that are talking about him don't even know him. and also to the people Disrespecting u need to let Whatever you had against freddy go. and let his soul rest in peace. Beacuse it aint nice please.
