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.

You never said I'm leaving
You never said good-bye
You were gone before I knew it
And only God knew why
A million times we've needed you,
A million times we've cried.
If love alone could've saved you,
You never would have died.
In life we loved you dearly,
In death we love you still.
In our hearts you hold a place,
No one else will ever fill.
It broke our hearts to lose you,
But you didn't go alone.
Part of us went with you,
The day God took you home.
blessings
May gods angel's guide you on your journey into heaven, may your new life be blessed with happiness, and wonderful memories. Blessings,Love and Peace young man xx
So Surreal
It's gonna take me a long time to get used to the fact that when I go to Dad's house, you're not gonna be there to tell me your silly stories or watch you talk to girls on the phone. Those hats that you gave me, i honestly can't wear them (not just because i don't like hats ... lol) also because of sentimental value. I still remember when you were really quiet on our way to chessington years ago. I hardly knew you back then and you were my brother. I should of taken more time to get to know you because I'm gonna miss you now that you are not here. It's so surreal because i haven't heard of anyone in our family to die, you are the first immediate family member and it HURTS so bad to know that you aren't here nomore. The last time i saw you was when you were with your friends and i was going to the bus stop and you told me and Sarah to phone you; we didn't take you seriously so we didn't LOL. But if i knew that would of been the last time to see or speak to you, I would of taken the chance to tell you that we may be step brothers, but you were the closest one to my age in the whole family and you really liked me and that means alot to me. You weren't my biological sibling, but you were my brother.
I'm Never Gonna Forget You ...
And Save Me A Seat In Heaven, If You Don't, I Might Have To Slap You Around,, LOL
Sleep Well Bruv,, [¦:-D]
