Teenager, 18, charged after 15-year-old boy stabbed in London
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.
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.
‘Did you see anything suspicious around the Eglinton Road area? Did you see anyone running away from the area? Do you have any footage?
‘If you do, then please contact police.’
