On the evening of November 26, 2022, a group of five teenagers, described by prosecutors as “armed to the teeth” with knives and machetes, embarked on a deadly mission from Thamesmead to Abbey Wood. Their target was a local boy, but the night ended with two 16-year-olds dead, one of whom was mistakenly killed by his accomplices.
