London: The search for the person who killed 14-year-old Kelyan Bokassa is still on. It’s been over a week since he was fatally stabbed on a bus in Woolwich.
Kelyan, who had dreams of being a rapper, was attacked on a route 472 bus just before 2:30 PM last Tuesday. It’s heartbreaking to think about.
Scotland Yard hasn’t made any arrests yet, which is frustrating. They’re ramping up efforts, though, with more police on the streets and even using facial recognition tech in crime hotspots.
His mother, Mary, shared how Kelyan had been struggling, saying he got involved with gangs after running away from care. She tried to protect him but felt helpless.
Mary recalled a time when Kelyan went missing for a year. When he finally came back, he was sick and underweight. It’s just so sad.
Police are asking anyone with information to step forward. They believe Kelyan’s death might be linked to a gang turf war over drugs.
In a related note, Peter Andre expressed his worries as a parent after hearing about Kelyan’s tragic death. He reflected on how scary it is to let kids out in today’s world.
Last year, London saw ten teenagers killed, mostly due to stabbings. It’s a serious issue that needs attention.
Meanwhile, four teenagers have been charged with murder in a separate stabbing incident in Bedford. It’s a tough time for many families.
If you have any info about Kelyan’s case, please reach out to the police or Crimestoppers. Every bit helps.
