The mother said: 'The knife blade was still in her, but I didn't see it because it was dark.
'I didn't realise at the time, but then all I kept thinking once the police told me was 'have I put the knife in further by giving her compressions?'
She added: 'It was horrific, it was just the blood. There must've been two pints of blood. There was so much of it.

'The girl was moaning, but she was mostly silent. We checked her pulse and we could hear her breathing.'
Mrs Farenden was in the kitchen when her son, who was playing X-Box, heard screaming and said 'mum, somebody is shouting 'help' from the park.'
She said: 'I was in the kitchen and I thought I'd better check it out just in case.
'I never thought in a million years that I was coming out to a murder and that I would be walking out to a young lady who had been stabbed.
'I was trying to do my coat up in the drive and I shouted out 'is everything okay?' as I was worried it could be kids drinking.
'Then a boy said 'no I need help, my girlfriend has been stabbed' and I just flew over there in my flip flops.'
The mother found the victim laying on her back in the corner of the park with her boyfriend beside her, who was also white.
She said she put the girl in the recovery position and administered CPR.
'People are scared to help, but all I was thinking with my mother's instinct was 'I need to help,' she said.
'Her boyfriend did everything he could. When I came over she was on her back so I moved her onto her side.
The Metropolitan Police said the victim has not yet been formally identified but their next of kin have been informed. Pictured: The park has been taped off today

'Then the boyfriend's friend came over with some kitchen roll. Then there was another girl and a man came over in a van to help and took his coat off to keep it on the wound and keep it compressed as much as they could.
'I think he was the dad of one of the boyfriend's friends. I was just trying to keep her legs in the recovery position because she was heavy, like a dead weight.
'Just as the ambulance crew turned up, she had gone. It was devastating.'
Paramedics battled to save the victim who died in the play park an hour later.
Mrs Farenden said it is the first time in the 16 years she has lived by the park that 'anything like this has happened'.
She said: 'It is so traumatic - she is not going to have any children, she is not going to get married - it has all been taken away.

'She was such an attractive girl and her boyfriend was a lovely looking lad.
'She was white and she had long blonde or light brown hair and glasses.
'It just seems so random; it must've been horrific for her boyfriend and those other young people there to experience. 
'It is just unreal - I think 'God, it could have been my daughter.''
'I thought it was a boy who was hurt because you're used to seeing these things in the news but it was a girl: a girl, a young girl.'
The red brick terraced house faces onto the park where three forensics officers were photographing the area where the teen was knifed to death. 
Forensic tents were put up just metres away from swings, slides and climbing frames in the play park. 
Detectives from the force's homicide and major crime command are investigating and said there will be an increase of police patrols in the area.
'At this early stage, there have been no arrests and enquiries continue,' a Met Police spokesman said.

'Her death is a tragedy. I can reassure them and the whole community that we are doing everything possible to identify and bring to justice the person or persons responsible.'
