Detectives investigating the fatal stabbing of a schoolboy in south-east London have charged a teenager with murder.
Daejaun Campbell, 15, was fatally stabbed and died at the scene of the attack in Woolwich despite neighbours battling to save his life.
Police were scrambled to Eglington Road at 6.35pm on Sunday where they found the teenager slumped on the ground being helped by locals.
Two men were arrested on suspicion of murder and taken into police custody.
Jacob Losiewicz, 18, from Abbey Wood, was charged with murder on Wednesday.
He will appear in custody at Bromley Magistrates’ Court on Thursday. The second man, aged in his 50s, has been released without charge.
Detective Chief Superintendent Trevor Lawry , who is in charge of policing for the South East Basic Command Unit, said: “The investigation into Daejaun's murder continues and detectives are working around the clock. Local officers will remain in the area whilst we continue with our investigation.
“Please do not hesitate to ask any questions, they are there to support you and the community.
“I want to appeal again for anyone who knows anything about the death of young Daejaun to come forward. Did you see anything suspicious around the Eglinton Road area? Did you see anyone running away from the area? Do you have any footage?”
