Tottenham stabbing: Teen knifed to death named as Kane Ontre Zasheem Moses

A teenager found stabbed to death in north London has been named by the police.

Kane Ontre Zasheem Moses, 19, was found with stab injuries following a fight in Tottenham High Road near to Holcombe Market, at around 5.30pm on Friday, September 30.

Despite the efforts of emergency services he died a short time later, and a postmortem took place on Sunday, October 2.

Scotland Yard said there was evidence of a firearm being discharged, and no arrests have been made.

Kane is the 12th teenager to have been killed in the capital this year.

The Met’s homicide investigation is led by DI Daniel Catmull, from specialist crime.

He said: “My heart goes out to the family of this young man. They are being supported by specialist officers and I can assure them of my total commitment to finding and bringing to justice whoever was responsible for this brutal attack.

“Although it is believed that the victim died of stab injuries, there was also evidence of a firearm having been discharged.

“This forms a crucial part of the police investigation, and detailed forensic work continues at the scene along with many other lines of enquiry.

“Local people have been coming forward to tell us what they saw and I am very grateful to them.

“However, I know there are more people who saw what happened or know information crucial to our investigation. I need those people to do the right thing and contact police or, if they wish to remain anonymous, they can contact Crimestoppers.”

Inspector Ismail Madari, of the Met’s north London policing unit, said: “All of us who have the privilege of policing this part of London fully understand how upset local people will be by the violent death of such a young man on the streets of Tottenham.

“Just as my heartfelt sympathies are with the family and friends of the victim, I know that the community will be hurting too. We are here to help and support them.

“Dedicated police officers will be conducting additional patrols in and around Tottenham High Road, and I urge anyone who has any information or concerns to speak with these officers. They are there to serve and protect you.”

The police are urging members of the community who may have witnessed what happened to come forward by calling 101 with the reference 5327/30sep.
