Early on Saturday morning, the Community learnt of the utterly senseless loss of a 17 year-old girl from a fatal stabbing in Harold Hill at 9.25pm on Friday night.
Julia Lopez MP for Hornchurch & Upminster tweeted: The whole community will share my distress over the utterly senseless loss of a young woman from a fatal stabbing in Harold Hill last night. I’ve spoken this morning to Deputy Mayor for Policing & contacted Borough Commander, who ask ppl with info to call Crimestoppers anonymously.
A few hours later, Julia Lopez MP put out an update to say that she has now had the opportunity to speak with Mayor Sadiq Khan and our Borough Commander Jason Gwillim and that they are working together to prevent another tragedy like this happening. The full statement can be read here.
