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.

its disgraceful when a person taints anothers passing, they should feel ashamed at themselves. but you can hold rue your love for freddy, that will not change, do not listen to any bad words others say, they dont matter as they prove themselves unworthy at ever have known freddy, i am so sorry to hear of your loss, and to all those who write such stupid things, imagine it was your family that read those comments and it was you who passed, seems a better person died in your place.
rest in peace and love to all your family
Those who knew this young person, please don't give any head space to any of the bigoted taunts posted by minds with narrow ' views' , formed by ignorance, a lack of empathy and a lack of humanity. For someone to offer up such insensitive comments ... they truly must be be living in their own personal prison of the mind and they will never be truly free. Every one should know that there were many people on that evening willing him to pull through, offering their help, skills and compassion, no one was making assumptions about character or lifestyle . Killing is a tragedy for all involved in ways some will never comprehend. The emotion any bigoted comments deserve to ultimately provoke is pity.
If this kid was a crack dealer, (and noone seems to be denying this allegation) ..............
Crack dealers destroy peoples lives and are bascially are at war with our society.
Also do any of his friends know how to spell?
His friends
If you were real friends of his you would got him to stop dealing drugs and ruining other people's lives!
By the way for what its worth, if it wasn’t for Black people we would not have electricity, the internet, computer, planes, trains, cars, satellite technology and so much more.
Lets all thank Black people for their contribution to modern society!
Oh and the black people who contribute here could learn to spell and speak English better!
