Harry Pitman, 16, who was fatally stabbed in north-west London on New Year’s Eve. (Picture: PA) A teenager has been found guilty of stabbing a schoolboy to death as he watched fireworks on Primrose Hill to see in the New Year with friends. Areece Lloyd-Hall, 18, has been found guilty at the Old Bailey of the murder of 16-year-old Harry Pitman on Wednesday. Harry, 16, was with a group of friends watching fireworks on Primrose Hill when he was knifed in the neck following an argument just before midnight on New Year’s Eve 2023. Harry’s grandad Philip Woolveridge, who works as a caretaker at his old school, told Metro: ‘It’s so difficult for us this time of year what with the second anniversary coming up. He was a wonderful boy that’s the truth. We miss him so much.’ Mr Woolveridge previously said his grandson, who was 6ft 3, ‘didn’t have a bad bone in his body’. He told Metro the family would be supporting each other on the anniversary of their loss. Harry, who lived in Tottenham, has four siblings and a close-knit family. They said after his death he was a person who ‘always stood up for what was right’.
