Two more charged with murdering schoolboy stabbed in London

Two more people have been charged with the murder of a 15-year-old boy who was stabbed with a zombie knife in southeast London.

Daejaun Campbell died from his injuries after being attacked on Eglinton Road in Woolwich on 22 September.

Marko Balaz, 18, of Abbey Wood, appeared on Saturday at Bromley Magistrates' Court charged with murder, the Metropolitan Police said.

He was remanded in custody to appear at the Old Bailey tomorrow and was arrested on Wednesday 25 September.

A 17-year-old male is also due to appear at Bromley Youth Court today charged with murder. He was arrested on Friday.

Jacob Losiewicz, 18, of Abbey Wood, who was charged with murder last week, will appear at the Old Bailey today.

The Met Police said they have updated Daejaun's family with the developments.

A ban on owning zombie-style knives and machetes came into effect last week, two days after the stabbing.

It was introduced as part of efforts to reduce knife crime. Campaigners, including the actor Idris Elba, had pushed for the large blades to be outlawed.
