fatally stabbed as he watched

says her family is 'destroyed' by the

gathered at the fireworks display]


[The murder, which took place just
minutes before midnight,
made him at least the 17th teenager
brutally killed in the capital in 2023 - most of
those cruelly taken away from their loved
ones in the last year had also been stabbed.
Tayla was called 'Errol' by loved ones after
a character on a children's television
show he liked.
'He would never answer to Harry at
home - just 'Errol' - it was mine,
Harry and mum's little joke,'
his sister added before calling for
his killer to be brought to justice.]

Sure
But this on that famous hill
to see the New Year in.

Not usual for a manic killer

I think central London is much safer at that time. Even if you won't see much.

The murderer has been released on bail !!

Why do we do this ?!

What if he stabs another innocent person ?!?

What if someone connected to the victim confronts him and gets stabbed ?

[A 16-year-old boy arrested on suspicion of murdering
Harry Pitman on New Year's Eve has been
released on bail, the Metropolitan Police have said.

Harry, who was also 16, was attacked as he waited
to watch the fireworks near the Primrose Hill
viewing platform, in north London,
at about 11.40pm on Sunday.
Police said he was with a group of friends
celebrating the New Year when he is believed
to have become involved in an altercation
"with devastating consequences".

Officers called to the scene minutes after
the attack gave first aid to the victim before
ambulance crews arrived.
He was pronounced dead shortly
before midnight.
A 16-year-old boy who was arrested at the
scene on suspicion of murder has been released on
bail pending further enquiries, the Met said.

Speaking on Monday evening, Harry's older
sister Tayla, 19, told MailOnline her
"mischievous and cheeky" brother
"didn't have a bad bone in his body" and
"always stood up for what was right".

"I'm devastated, he was my baby brother,"
she said. "He didn't even get to see
the fireworks, which is why he went to
Primrose Hill in the first place."]

Very sad. Primrose Hill is near Marylebone I’m sure? I wouldn’t of thought it would be dangerous especially if it were busy?

Primrose Hill is a very well to do neighborhood, sadly too many kids carrying knifes now and prepared to use them

Yes, but my park at night is a no go zone. Full of criminal activity. Poor guy.

Boy, 16, charged with New Year's Eve murder of teenager Harry Pitman…


A 16-year-old boy has been charged with murder after Harry Pitman, also 16, was stabbed to death on New Year's Eve on London's Primrose Hill.

The teenager, who cannot be named because of his age, has also been charged with possessing an offensive weapon.

The suspect, from Westminster, is due to appear before Highbury Magistrates' Court this morning.

Harry died after what police described as "an altercation" as crowds gathered in Primrose Hill, Camden, north London, to watch the fireworks display.

On Tuesday evening, around 100 people, including Harry's mother, brother and sister, attended a vigil at Downhills Park in Haringey, to pay their respects to the victim, with many carrying flowers and balloons.

The following day, Harry's 19-year-old sister Tayla said on TikTok her brother was a "good boy" who had a "heart of gold" and would not have been involved in violence.

She said: "Harry was not in any way shape or form involved with any gangs or anyone who could cause trouble.

"He's not ever been in trouble with the police."

On Friday evening, fans at the FA Cup third-round tie between Tottenham and Burnley were united in applause in the 16th minute of the match as a tribute for Harry, who was a Spurs supporter.

Lisa Ramsarran, deputy chief crown prosecutor for the Crown Prosecution Service London homicide team, said on Saturday: "The CPS has authorised the Metropolitan Police to charge a 16-year-old boy with murder following the death of Harry Pitman.

"The 16-year-old, who cannot be named because of his age, is also charged with possessing an offensive weapon."

She added: "The Crown Prosecution Service reminds all concerned that criminal proceedings are active and that the defendant has the right to a fair trial.

"It is extremely important there should be no reporting, commentary or sharing of information online which could in any way prejudice these proceedings."
