A teenager has been arrested on suspicion of murder after an aspiring lawyer was attacked while on his way to buy snacks from a shop.

Sven Badzak, 22, died in an apparently unprovoked assault in Kilburn, north-west London on Saturday, after going to buy orange juice and bagels.

He was repeatedly knifed alongside his friend Bobby, 16, who escaped into a shop in Willesden Lane but was rushed to hospital with his injuries. He is now in a stable condition.

Sven’s mum, a former Conservative Party activist, called on the prime minister to help ensure her son’s killers are caught.

Jasna Badzak, 49, said her son had met Boris Johnson and other Conservative politicians when he was younger, through her campaigning work with the party.

She told website MyLondon that her only child was ‘the nicest of the nice kids’.

‘He was the most polite boy you could possibly imagine,’ she added, ‘The perfect manners, he spoke the perfect Queen’s English.

‘He was beloved by everybody. He always asked people how their day was, how their family is, if he could do something for them.’

Privately educated Sven had attended Wetherby School and Roehampton University and worked part-time for Transport for London.

The PM responded yesterday and said: ‘My thoughts are very much with her and with her family in mourning the loss of her son.

‘I think that what is happening on the streets of too many of our cities is very, very sad and I want to see kids protected from some of the gang crime, the knife crime, the culture of violence they are all too often sucked up in.’

A Met Police spokesperson said: ‘Detectives investigating the fatal stabbing of 22-year-old Sven Badzak in Kilburn have made an arrest.

‘A 17-year-old male was arrested on suspicion of murder on Tuesday. He remains in custody at an east London police station.’
