A 36-year-old woman is being questioned on suspicion of murder after a teenage boy was stabbed to death in south-east London.

He was treated by paramedics but died at the scene. A post-mortem examination found he suffered a stab wound which caused a "catastrophic bleed".
The Met said the woman had been arrested on suspicion of murder on Sunday and remains in custody.

"One piece of information, no matter how small, could prove vital in us being able to provide Levi's family with the answers they need."
