Police are seeking two hooded youths after a 15-year-old boy was stabbed to death in east London.
Adam Regis was seen falling to the ground at the junction of Boundary Road and Kingsland Road in
Plaistow on Saturday evening.
He was stabbed in the chest and abdomen and died 90 minutes later at nearby Newham General
Hospital.
The senior investigating detective said there was "absolutely nothing to indicate it was a
gang-related act".
'Vital information'
Det Ch Insp Ian Stevenson, of the Metropolitan Police, said: "At this very early stage of the
investigation, we are trying to build up a picture of events.
"Two youths were seen running near to where the victim was found and I urgently need them to
come forward as they may have vital information.
"Equally, I would appeal for anyone who may have seen the victim or the two youths in Kingsland
Road to contact police."
He said Adam, whose uncle is believed to be former athlete John Regis, was black, tall for his age
and was wearing white Nike trainers.
"He had been to the Showcase Cinema in Beckton with some friends earlier in the evening and may
have travelled to Boundary Road by bus," Mr Stevenson said.
He said he was encouraged that a number of local people had come forward to give him information,
particularly about the two hooded suspects.
"Our prime aim is to bring the culprits to justice as quickly as possible," Mr Stevenson
added.
He said bus numbers 104 and 376 stopped near where the teenager was found and detectives would be
examining CCTV images from the buses as a priority.
The officer said it was possible the two hooded youths had also been on a bus.
The incident comes just three days after 16-year-old Kodjo Yenga was stabbed to death in
Hammersmith, west London.
Councillor Pearson Shillingford, who represents the area around Boundary Road, said the police and
community needed to get together to discuss youths carrying knives.
He said teenagers could give "no good reason" for having knives and he was at a loss to
explain why they did.
'Find answer'
Pastor William Lamptey, who works with young people in the area, said youth culture played a big
role in the violence on the streets.
"I think it is the general culture of the youngsters, their behaviour, the way they conduct
themselves.
"When you see them, the way they dress, they are telling you 'Back off, I'm a
hooligan. I'm aloof, you can't talk to me.' "
Social worker Juliette Betton-Green, who lives near the scene of the stabbing, said it was
particularly sad as today was Mothering Sunday.
"His family will obviously have loved him and I can't imagine how they will be
feeling," she said.
"We must find an answer to this problem of violence."

Whenever I needed someone to talk to
You were always there.
My eyes filled with tears, my heart filled with pain, and
You were always there.
There was no time when I had doubt
to come to you because
You were always there.
I could see in your eyes you wanted to help, and that you really cared.
Whenever I was down and blue
You were always there.
No matter my problems, are what was wrong
You were always there.
Whenever I felt like nothing matters
You were always there.
Now your gone, and I don't know what to do
I close my eyes and think of you, and how
You were always there.
It's hard to look at the pictures, and get memories of you
Can you hear me now
At night I pray, and I speak to you
I guess you were right when you told me no matter how far you were
You would always be there.
I know one day I'll see you again, but till then I have to say goodbye
Even though it hurts to hear your name, and speak of you
One thing I will always say is
You were always there.
Rest In Prefect Peace Ad'z
Adam! The Words Cannot Explain How I Felt When I Found Out You Past. You Was My Lil' Baby! Always Making Me Smile When Life Got Me Down. And I Will Always Miss You But Thank You For That. Although I Will Always Ask Why? I Know That Question Will Bot Be Answered, All I Can Hope Is That The Correct Level Of Punishment Will Be Given Unto Those Who Took You From Us. Theres Not A Day That Goes By That I Don't Think About You. Theres Not A Day Where I Don't Shed A Tear. You Death Hit Me Hard And Up To This Day I'm Still Coming To Terms With It.
"For Everything I Touch You Touch;
Every Step I Take You Take;
Every Breath I Take You Breathe;
Every Pound I Make You Make.
Told You We Would Make It To The Sunshine One Day,
You Just Got There A Little Quicker.
See You At The Crossroads.
