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.

2 da person Tyrone. dont write dumb comments like that on public pages. if Freddy was ur 'dealer' then keep it to yourself coz comments like that just give people who didnt know him properly and what he really was about something bad to say when they dont know the facts. 2 everyone else leaving comments calling Freddie and the rest of the black community 'niggers' and a 'turd' everyone is entitled to their own opinion but stupid and ignorant comments like that are better kept to yourselves as this site was created for people to pay their respects to Freddy whether they knew him or not. his loved ones see this site and all this stupidness is not needed during their time of grief.
Rest In Peace Freddy, miss u like mad x x x x x x x x x x
To family and friends
When tomorrow starts without me,
and I'm not there to see;
If the sun should rise and find your eyes
all filled with tears for me;
I wish so much you wouldn't cry,
the way you did today,
while thinking of the many things
we didn't get to say.
I know how much you love me,
as much as I love you,
and each time that you think of me,
I know you'll miss me too.
When tomorrow starts without me,
please try to understand,
that an angel came and called my name
and took me by the hand.
It said my place was ready
in heaven far above,
and that I'd have to leave behind
all those I dearly love.
But as I turned to walk away,
a tear fell from my eye,
for all life I'd always thought
I didn't want to die.
I had so much to live for,
so much yet to do,
it seemed almost impossible,
that I was leaving you,
I thought of all the yesterdays,
the good ones and the bad,
I thought of all the love we shared,
and all the fun we had.
It hurts like hell. Damirifa Due!! Due ne amanehun
Another ...................... Could it get any better than that? Keep slaughtering yourselves, niggers, you do not belong anywhere else than in mudhuts in Africa.
R.I.P brother
I DIDNT REALLY KNOW YOU,BUT JUST THOUGHT I SHOULD WRITE SOME CONDOLENCE. I AM A GHANAIN AND MY HEART ACHES WHEN I HEAR ANOTHER GHANAIN KILLED.MAYBE IS BECAUSE WE ARE SUCH DECENT AND WELL BROUGHT UP PEOPLE I DONT EXPECT THISTO HAPPEN TO US. AM NOT ONLY SUDDEND BUT DISGUISTED THAT PEOPLE COULD KILL OVER SILLY THINGS LIKE A WATER FIGHT.LIFE MEANS SO LITTLE THAT YOU GET KILLED OVER SILLY THINGS LIKE THIS. I HOPE THE CRIMINALS SUFFER THE SAME PAIN THAT YOU WENT THROUGH BEFORE YOU DIE, AND WHAT YOUR FAMILY ARE GOING THRU NOW.THEY WILL NEVER FIND HAPPINESS IN THEIR LIFE, THEY WILL CONTINUE TO SUFFER AND GOD WILL PUNISH THEM DEARLY. THEY MIGHT GET AWAY FROM THE JUSTICE SYSTEM, BUT THEY WILL NEVER GET AWAY FROM GOD WHO MADE HIS LIFE ONLY TO BE TAKEN AWAY BY USELESS PEOPLE. WHO EVER LEAVES BY THE KNIFE, SHALL DIE BY THE KNIFE.R.I.P AMEN. FAMILY SHOULD TAKE HEART, THE CRIMINALS WILL GET THEIR PUNISHMENT SOON.
