In a shocking incident, two teenage boys, aged 15 and 16, have been charged with the murder of a 15-year-old youth in Guildford, Surrey. The victim has been identified by the police as Luis Gabriel Guembe.

The incident occurred on Monday evening around 6:10 pm when officers were called to a wooded area near Lido Road, close to Stoke Park, following reports of a stabbing. Sadly, the young victim was pronounced dead at the scene.

The two suspects, whose identities have been withheld due to their age, have also been charged with conspiracy to rob and possession of a bladed article. They are scheduled to appear before Guildford Magistrates’ Court on Saturday.

Surrey Police have urged anyone with information about the incident to come forward and contact them. The force has also asked the public to refrain from speculating about the case and to allow the investigation to proceed.

The tragic incident has left the local community in Guildford deeply shaken. Residents have expressed shock and sadness over the loss of a young life, and many have called for increased measures to address the issue of youth violence in the area.

This latest tragedy is a stark reminder of the ongoing challenges faced by communities in addressing the complex societal factors that can lead to such senseless acts of violence. As the investigation continues, the authorities and the public must work together to find ways to prevent such incidents from occurring in the future and to provide support for those affected by this devastating loss.
