Three men have been jailed after a 15-year-old was fatally stabbed in a North Woolwich shop last year.
Kayjon Lubin was found suffering injuries at around 6.50pm on December 11, 2020, on Woodman Street.
Despite the efforts of the emergency services, he was pronounced dead at the scene.
A post-mortem examination established Kayjon’s cause of death as a single stab wound to the chest.
Officers found that Kayjon and his friend Azhar Miah had been involved in an altercation with Raymond McGill and Gift Osondu in which they were all armed with knives.
McGill, 18 of Manwood Street, E16, Miah, 28, of Silverland Street, Newham, and, Osondu, 18, Constance Street, E16, were all found guilty of violent disorder after a trial at the Old Bailey earlier this year.
McGill, and Miah were also convicted of possession of a knife in a public place, while Osondu pleaded guilty to this charge.
McGill and Osondu were found not guilty of the murder or manslaughter of Kayjon.
McGill was sentenced to two years' imprisonment, Osondu a total of two years and Miah a total of 17 months' imprisonment.
Detective Sergeant Gary Harreman, the investigating officer, said: “The Met will do all it can to bring to justice those who carry knives in public and contribute to the violence on the streets of London.
“A 15-year-old died as the result of a single stab wound, demonstrating the deadly consequences of carrying and using a knife.
“My thoughts go out to his family and friends, who have lost someone who had his whole life ahead of him.”
