Two teenagers fell to their deaths from a balcony yesterday as they cuddled at a party to mark the end of their exams. Anastasia Tutik, a 19-year-old Russian, and a Mexican known only as Miguel, 18, were in a clinch when they lost their balance. The drop of more than 60ft from the sixth floor killed them instantly.
Witnesses described hearing a huge bang in the early hours. Mr Oguntayo said he ran to the scene and discovered both teenagers lying dead in a pool of blood on a stone patio. He dialled 999 but paramedics could do nothing to save either teenager.
Shradha Chaturvedi, 31, who lives on the second floor of the block, said: ‘I heard a very, very loud noise and a lady screaming. Initially I heard a boom and at first I thought a firework had gone off or something. My husband came down and there were two guys outside who were totally drunk.’
Alfonso, a fellow student from Mexico, said Miguel arrived in London a week ago…
“They met at the party. He liked her and she liked him so they went on to the balcony to make out – to kiss and cuddle. They were alone on the balcony.
Miguel had come to London to take a summer course in English. He was from Monterrey and he wanted to study business.
Anastasia was very pretty – slim, blonde with green eyes – but she was very intelligent as well. She was one of the top students in the class.
She was studying A-levels and she was hoping to go to university in September. Miguel’s family is devastated. His parents are flying over from Mexico. They will arrive tomorrow morning,’ he said.
Anastasia’s parents, who live in Russia, are believed to be flying into London today. Bouquets of flowers have been placed at the foot of Knights Tower.
Detective Chief Inspector Helen Millichap, of the Metropolitan Police Service, said: ‘We believe this was a tragic accident.’
