The teenager, from Belvedere, was fatally injured at about 1700 BST in Upper Wickham Lane, Welling.

Yemurai was taken to a south London hospital where he later died. A post-mortem examination is due to be held, the Met Police said.

A man was been arrested but has since been released without charge. Police are appealing for more witnesses.

Witness David Walker, 83, said a bike and crash helmet lay on the ground within the area being guarded by police.

He said: “We were horrified.

“Nobody could say it’s quiet around here but nothing like this has happened here before.”

Yemurai was the eighth teenager murdered in London this year.
