Woman knifed in fight dies

A 24-year-old woman has died after being knifed in a fight with another woman.

She died from blood loss two days after an artery in her leg was cut.

Police said the wound was similar to that which led to the death of 10-year-old Damilola Taylor in Peckham.

The dead woman has yet to be formally identified but police believe the pair were once friends.

They have arrested a 29-year-old woman in connection with the fight, which was in a flat in Albany Road, Walworth.

The injured victim was taken to King's College Hospital, Camberwell, but died as a result of blood loss on Friday.

DI Grant Johnson said the women "fell out some time ago because of a man.

"It appears that a knife was pulled out at some point during the fight.

"We are keen to speak to anyone who can help us to piece together the circumstances that led to this tragedy."
