A teenager has been charged with murder after a 15-year-old boy was stabbed to death in London.
Daejaun Campbell was found with a stab wound in Eglinton Road, Woolwich, on Sunday evening but he died shortly after.
Two men were arrested on suspicion of murder and now one of them has been charged.
Jacob Losiewicz, 18 and of Church Manor Way in Abbey Wood, has been charged with murder and he’ll appear in court later today.
The second arrested man, who is in his 50s, has since been released without charge.
Daejaun was stabbed to death with a zombie knife just two days before a ban came into force.
It’s hoped the ban, backed by actor Idris Elba and other celebrities, will help efforts to reduce knife crime.
Detective Chief Superintendent Trevor Lawry 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.
