A 14-year-old boy who was stabbed to death on a London bus has been named by his mother as Kelyan Bokassa.

Kelyan was travelling on a 472 bus to Abbey Wood when he was attacked at about 2.30pm on Tuesday as the bus was on Woolwich Church Road. Paramedics treated him at the scene but he died shortly after they arrived.
