Murder Investigation Launched In Camberwell
A murder investigation is underway after a death in Camberwell. On Wednesday 11 May at approximately 4.15pm, police and London Ambulance Service (LAS) were called to the rear of Calais Gate, Cormont Road, in south east London to reports of an injured boy. Upon arrival officers found a 15-year-old boy who had suffered stab wounds. He was taken to a south London hospital where he was subsequently pronounced dead at approximately 10.30pm. Officers believe they know his identity but await formal identification. His next of kin have been informed. A post-mortem will be scheduled in due course. Detective Chief Inspector, John McFarlane from the Homicide and Serious Crime Command said: "At this early stage in the investigation we believe that just after 4pm, there was an altercation at the rear of Calais Gate, Cormont Road, SE5 involving a number of youths which resulted in the victim being stabbed. I am appealing for anyone who may have witnessed the altercation or seen youths acting suspiciously in the area in and around Cormont Road to contact the incident room."
Missing Woman Sought
Police are growing increasingly concerned for the safety and welfare of a 46-year-old woman missing from the Lewisham area. Sarah Jane Williams, 46, was last seen at her home address on Oakshade Road, Bromley on Monday 9 May around 10.30am. She was reported missing by her husband after her son saw her leave the house before turning right on to Winlaton Road. Sarah suffers from depression and is known to travel to south coast area. Sarah is described as 5' 4" tall, of slim build with blonde hair. She was last seen wearing jeans with a white or peach top, a black jacket and white trainers. She will be in possession of a walking stick and will not be very mobile. Anyone with information should contact the Missing Person Unit at Catford Police Station.
Growth Package For Local Enterprise Partnerships
The drive to stimulate local economic growth was stepped up today when Business Minister Mark Prisk announced a package with three measures to help local enterprise partnerships get up and running. Firstly the partnerships are being invited to submit bids for a share of a £5 million Start-Up Fund. The fund is a one-off pot of money to fund such things as office equipment and training which they believe will help get themselves established. Partnerships will be expected to demonstrate as part of their bid how they will become self-sustaining in the future. Secondly, from today partnerships will also have access to an online Toolbox which provides comprehensive information on economic development activity across government departments, and ideas for strong partnership/government working. Finally, they will also be able to access information through the new BIS Local network which will be the first point of contact on any issues. Funding allocations from the first round of the local enterprise partnership Capacity Fund were also issued to partnerships today. Each will receive a share of £1 million to help increase their understanding of the barriers to growth facing local businesses.
