Salum Kombo, 18, was stabbed repeatedly and staggered 400 yards before collapsing in a pool of blood.
He was said to have been attacked by the 15-year-old who held a grudge because he had shown "disrespect" in the posting on the social networking site.

Friends said the pair had been "really close".
Salum - who died in a street after the attack on Sunday - was said to have been threatened after commenting on another boy's profile the day before.
The jibe is believed to have related to the alleged murderer not being invited to a party.
A girl pal said: "Salum was killed just because he posted a stupid comment on another lad's wall on Facebook.
The boy had initially written something on his wall to which Salum responded. It just escalated from there."
Salum arrived in the UK from Tanzania around seven years ago.The news was broken to his parents there yesterday.
He was living with an aunt in Bow, East London, and had been an art student at nearby Tower Hamlets College.
Another pal alleged the killer had put his arm around Salum "then just stabbed him" yards from his aunt's flat.
Salum had been singing Christmas carols with relatives shortly before he died, neighbours said.
One, who gave her name as Norma, said: "It's heartbreaking that this has happened so close to Christmas and it has affected the whole neighbourhood.
"His aunt is in a state of total shock and devastation."
Gary Byrne, 46, cradled Salum as "the life drained out of him" after he suffered a wound to the neck and chest.
He said: "We saw the kid lying on the ground with a crowd of young boys standing around him."
"When I went over there was another guy trying to stem the flow of blood. The wound was either in his neck or chest."
"I was speaking to the ambulance while holding his head and trying to talk to him, trying to keep him awake. His eyes were flickering and I could see the life draining from the poor kid. There was so much blood, I have never seen anything like it in my life."
"When the ambulance pulled up he was still alive and they worked on him for about 20 minutes but he died on the pavement."
Emma Chaingwaro, 42, a nurse, said her son was a friend of the victim.
She added: "He was a nice, very respectful guy. Apparently it was all over a text message, something minor or trivial. My son is devastated."
It was the 13th teen murder in London this year.
A 15-year-old from Bow, east London, was today charged with the murder is appearing at nearby Thames Magistrates Court.[/release][/b]

Serious business, the internet is.
He looks like "gangsta" poser.
Looks like a chav and most likely was, therefore nothing of value was lost.
I was just deciding I was gonna give in and start a Facebook, but no let's browse Facepunch first I bet there are some interesting threads today.

It's london, what the hell did you expect? Lots of stupid violent teenagers in london

Well the internet is a form of communication you fools, you would be pissed if they said it to your face or even over the phone, so why not over the internet?

And Chavs, don't forget them.
'wah wah he was a chav and he deserved it'
You're all twats, he may have been a knob or something but so what, he didn't deserve to die, especially just for telling his mate he couldn't go to a party.
Yet another Facebook incident.
People should fucking learn to use it :sigh:
Today is a good day.
What a dick.
The internet has nothing to do with it - if you insult your friend, over whatever medium, they will not like you, and if they are retarded violent gangsta chavs then they might start to dislike you enough to stab you.

But look at the guy at the first picture.
It only happens to [i]those[/i] people. I'm not referring to the fact that he's black, but rather the fact that he looks like a real gangsta.
everyone looks like that in london, even further south now too.

Yeah. That's why i'm hating.
Really to murder someone over something so incredibly trivial is just pathetic, and that boy will never do anything worthwile with his life. (the killer I mean, though obviously the dead kid wont be doing much with his life either).

There's your problem.
I don't see why we should watch who we insult over the internet, when in his instance it was someone he actually knew, and the incident just happened to be triggered by communicating over the internet.
what a fuckwad

Killing someone over a few words is stupid, no matter the form of communication.
