Teenager charged with murder of Daejaun Campbell (15) in stabbing in Woolwich

Detectives investigating the fatal knife attack on a schoolboy in south-east London have charged a teenager with murder.

15-year-old Daejaun Campbell was fatally stabbed and died at the scene in Woolwich despite his neighbours fighting for his life.

Police were called to Eglington Road at 6.35pm on Sunday, where they found the teenager slumped on the ground while local residents assisted him.

Two men were arrested on suspicion of murder and taken into police custody.

Jacob Losiewicz, 18, of Abbey Wood, was charged with murder on Wednesday.

He will appear in custody at Bromley Magistrates' Court on Thursday. The second man, a man in his 50s, was 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 is ongoing and detectives are working around the clock. Local officers will remain in the area as we continue our inquiries.”

“Please don't hesitate to ask questions. They are there to support you and the community.

“I would like to once again appeal to anyone who knows anything about the death of young Daejaun to come forward. Did you notice anything suspicious in the Eglinton Road area? Did you see anyone fleeing the area? Do you have any footage?”
