Woolwich: So, there’s been a really sad incident on a bus in Woolwich. Two teenage boys have been charged with murder after a 14-year-old named Kelyan Bokassa was stabbed.
This all went down on January 7 while Kelyan was on a Route 472 double-decker bus. It’s just heartbreaking to think about.
On Wednesday, the police and the Crown Prosecution Service shared that the boys, aged 15 and 16, are now facing murder charges. They’re expected to appear in court later today.
David Malone from the Crown Prosecution Service mentioned that they’ve authorized the charges following this tragic event. It’s a tough time for Kelyan’s family and friends.
