Two more teens have been charged with murder after a 15-year-old boy was stabbed to death in a Woolwich street.

The stabbing occurred in Eglinton Road last Sunday evening (September 22) at around 6.35pm.

Police found 15-year-old Daejaun Campbell at the scene and he died a short time after.

A postmortem revealed that the cause of death was due to a sharp force trauma to the left thigh.

Balaz was first arrested on Wednesday, September 25, and charged on Friday, September 27.

He is being kept in custody and will appear at the Old Bailey on Tuesday, October 1.

A 17-year-old boy, who cannot be named for legal reasons, is also charged with murder.

He will appear at Bromley Youth Court on Monday, September 30.

He was arrested on Friday, September 27, and charged the next day.

He is being held in custody and will also appear at the Old Bailey on Monday, September 30.

Daejaun's family have been updated on the case.

They previously provided a statement both sharing their love for Daejaun but also appealing for support and further action as they say “this senseless killing needs to stop”.

The full statement reads: “Firstly, we the family would like to thank you all for the support. The support has been shown by friends, neighbours, communities and Project LifeLine who were working closely with Daejaun, to help him to develop a better future for himself.

“Daejaun was a great kid who had a bright future ahead of him, he was loved by his family and friends, as well as strangers who had interacted with him, and he has left a great impression with them.

“His calming nature and enthusiastic attitude would manifest a happy atmosphere amongst his family and friends wherever he went.

“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.

“He is deeply loved by his family and though we should have many more years of memories with him, we will cherish the amazing memories he's left behind.

“His friends would say there wasn't anything that he couldn't do if he put his mind to it, he kept himself to himself and lived life to the fullest.

“Our Daejaun was naturally gifted, intelligent, creative and a mathematician with his quick thinking as well as musically talented.

“The brutal manner which Daejaun was taken away from us is sad, and he not the first young person nor will he be the last, this senseless killing needs to stop, how many mothers, fathers, grandparents and love ones must go through this excruciating pain of releasing these heart breaking statements, sharing our grief because we have lost our children and grandchildren.

“Why are parents burying their children, when a child’s place is by their mother's side?

“We must come together to bring change, solutions need to be put in place, we must do all we can together to ensure our young have the brightest of futures. #sayhisnameDaejaun “We as a family, again would like to thank you all for the support and kind messages.”
