Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 4 Nov, 13:50 · Archive

A 17-year-old from Dartford has admitted carrying a knife linked to the fatal stabbing of 15-year-old Jamal Ringrose at a house party.

A 17-year-old from Dartford has admitted carrying a knife and violent disorder linked to the fatal stabbing of 15-year-old Jamal Ringrose at a house party in Dudden Hill, north-west London, on 30 May. The youth, who cannot be named for legal reasons, pleaded guilty to both offences at Bromley Magistrates' Court.

Police were called to reports of a stabbing and disorder at around 10.36pm. Paramedics treated Jamal for stab wounds at the scene before taking him to hospital. Despite the efforts of doctors and nurses, he died on 4 June. A different 16-year-old boy has been charged with Jamal's murder.

The 17-year-old was remanded in youth detention accommodation ahead of sentencing. Court records cited concerns including his previous record, breaches of bail and the seriousness of the case, noting that 'the offence is serious where another young person has lost his life'. He is due to appear at Bromley Magistrates' Court in December for sentencing.
