Two teenagers have been charged with the murder of a boy who was fatally stabbed in Guildford earlier this week. The victim, 15-year-old Luis Gabriel Guembes, had relocated to the UK from Lima at a young age. The suspects, a 15-year-old and a 16-year-old, were arrested in connection with the incident.
Surrey Police announced that the two teenage boys have been charged with murder, conspiracy to rob, and possession of a bladed article following the tragic stabbing in Stoke Park. They are scheduled to appear at Guildford Magistrates’ Court.
The authorities responded to reports of the stabbing in Stoke Park and found the victim deceased at the scene despite efforts by emergency responders. The victim, identified as Luis, was described as a kind, bright, and promising individual by a family friend in an online fundraiser.
A GoFundMe campaign has been launched to assist with funeral expenses and support the victim’s family during this difficult time. The community has been urged to come forward with any information that may aid the investigation into the incident.
Detective Superintendent Andy Jenkins expressed condolences to the victim’s family and assured the community of ongoing efforts to gather evidence and ensure that those responsible are held accountable. The investigation is still in its early stages, and authorities are urging anyone with relevant information to come forward.
