A 15 year old boy who died after a stabbing at Lido Road, Stoke Park in Guildford on Monday (19 January) has been named.

A fundraiser's been set-up to support the family of Gabriel Guembes, also known as Luis, who's reportedly a pupil of All Hallows Catholic School in Farnham.

A statement on GoFundMe says:

"Gabriel was an amazing son and an incredible young soul. He was kind, bright, driven, and full of promise. A devoted student, a passionate soccer player, and a loving son, Gabriel had a smile that could light up a room and a heart that touched everyone he met. He was deeply loved and will be forever missed by all who had the privilege of knowing him.

Gabriel moved to London from Lima, Peru, with his mother at a young age in search of hope, opportunity, and a better future."

Surrey Police have officially confirmed his identity today and revealed that two boys aged 15 and 16 remain in custody on suspicion of murder as enquiries continue.
