Two 16-year-old boys have been stabbed to death in two locations around a mile apart in southeast London, police have said.
Detectives are investigating whether there is a link between the two killings which are believed to have happened at around the same time.
Officers were called at around 5.10pm on Saturday to reports of people injured in Sewell Road, Abbey Wood, and Titmuss Avenue, Thamesmead.
At each scene they found a 16-year-old who had been stabbed.
Both were later pronounced dead.
