Who was Jermaine Cools ?

A 14-year-old boy who was stabbed to death outside a south London train station during a mass brawl has been named by police as Jermaine Cools.

The schoolboy, from Croydon, was stabbed outside the West Croydon train station Thursday night.

Police were called to the scene on London Road at 6.40pm to receive reports of a fight between a group of people.

No suspects or victims were found at the scene.

Officers were then called to a south London hospital at 7:10 p.m., where the teenager presented himself to medical staff with multiple stab wounds.

Despite doctors’ best efforts, 14-year-old Jermaine Cools was in a “life-threatening condition” and was pronounced dead at the hospital shortly thereafter.

A post-mortem examination revealed the Croydon boy’s cause of death as multiple stab wounds.

Victim

It is the 27th murder of teenagers in the capital in 2021, equal to a previous peak in 2017.

Today, the Met has named the victim and posted photos of him in an appeal for information on his killers.
