Two more teens arrested after 15-year-old boy stabbed in London

Two teenagers have been arrested after a 15-year-old schoolboy with ‘a joyful spirit’ was stabbed to death in south-east London.

An 18-year-old man was arrested on Wednesday on suspicion of murdering Daejaun Campbell, who cried out ‘I’m 15, don’t let me die’ after being stabbed with a zombie knife.

Two men were previously arrested on suspicion of murder and now one of them has been charged.

Jacob Losiewicz, 18, of Abbey Wood, south-east London, appeared in person and spoke to confirm his name, address and date of birth during the brief hearing.

He was remanded in custody and will appear at the Old Bailey on September 30.

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.

Despite the efforts of officers and paramedics, he died at the scene a short time later.

In a statement issued via police, Daejuan’s family paid tribute to his ‘calming nature and enthusiastic attitude’, saying he would ‘manifest a happy atmosphere’ among his friends and relatives.

They said: ‘Daejaun was known for walking with the biggest smile and even bigger heart, he would always do his up most best to help anyone.

‘Daejaun had a joyful spirit, full of wit and charm with the incredible ability to light up a room with his presence and impactful smile.’

His family went on to call for end to ‘this senseless killing’ and called for change to ‘ensure our young have the brightest of futures’.
