Tony Bennett · 30-06-2008, 10:49 PM

PRESS ASSOCIATION:

A teenager who was stabbed to death early yesterday made a terrified phone call to a friend as his killers chased him through the streets.

Ben Kinsella, 16, was murdered in York Way, North London, after being caught up in a fight that broke out at a party in a pub near his home.

Friends of the youngster said that he was the brother of the former EastEnders actress Brooke Kinsella, 24, who visited the scene of his murder to lay flowers.

His death brings to 17 the number of teenagers murdered in London this year and comes in the middle of Operation Blunt 2, a high-profile Scotland Yard initiative to tackle knife crime.

****Detectives said that they had an open mind on the motive behind the killing but as Ben was white and his killers are thought to have been black it will lead them to investigate a possible racial element****.

REST SNIPPED
