A sixth-form student killed during a spate of knife attacks died of multiple stab wounds, a post-mortem examination has found.
Kwame Ofosu-Asare, 17, from Catford, died on the way to hospital after he was attacked on the Moorlands Estate, Brixton, at about 17:50 GMT on Friday.
Police are examining whether the murder was linked to five separate stabbings on 25 February and another on Friday.
The seven knife attacks are all within a small area of south London.
Police said there is no evidence that an eighth stabbing in south London - this one in New Cross on Sunday morning - was connected to the others.
Senior officers and community leaders have appealed for calm following the outbreak of violence, but arrests are yet to be made.
It is believed Kwame was with a companion on the way to his friend's relative's house in Brixton when they were chased by two young men and assaulted.
Kwame's friend was not injured.
The suspects are described as two young black men.
