London has seen two more killings overnight, bringing the total number of people who have been murdered to than 50 this year, and pushing the murder rate above that of New York.
The spate of violence in the British capital has caused alarm in many communities and among political leaders.
A man in his early 20s died after being found stabbed in east London, while two miles away a man in his 50s died following an assault. Two teenagers died earlier this week in separate incidents and many of the victims have been children or young adults. Two thirds of the murders have been the result of stabbings.
Reporter Racheal Venables reports from the scene of the latest murder.
