Southeast London: It’s a tragic situation. Two teens have been charged with the murder of Kelyan Bokassa, who was just 14 years old.
The boys, one 15 from Woolwich and the other 16 from Plumstead, were arrested early this morning. It’s heartbreaking to think about what happened on that bus.
Kelyan was stabbed while riding a Route 472 bus. Police got the call around 2:28 PM on January 7, but sadly, he died shortly after help arrived.
Emergency services, including paramedics and air ambulance, rushed to the scene, but it was too late. Kelyan’s family is getting support from officers during this tough time.
After a manhunt, three people were arrested yesterday. A 44-year-old woman was also taken in for helping an offender but has been released while the investigation continues.
Kelyan’s mom recently shared how her son had been targeted by gangs since he was just six. It’s a tough reality for so many families.
