Two more teenagers have been charged with the murder of 15-year-old Daejaun Campbell. Daejaun cried out “I’m 15, don’t let me die” after being stabbed with a zombie knife at around 6.35pm on September 22 at Eglinton Road, Woolwich. Despite the efforts of officers and paramedics at the scene, he died a short time later.
On Saturday, Marko Balaz, 18, of Sewell Road, Abbey Wood, appeared in custody at Bromley Magistrates’ Court charged with murder. He was remanded in custody and will next appear at the Old Bailey on Tuesday. A 17-year-old male will appear at Bromley Youth Court on Monday, also charged with murder.
This development comes after another 18-year-old man, Jacob Losiewicz of Church Manor Way, Abbey Wood, appeared at Bromley Magistrates’ Court last Thursday charged with murder. He will next appear at the Old Bailey on Monday. The tragic incident shook the local community, prompting an outpouring of grief and shock.
In response to these charges, communities are rallying together to address the escalating issue of youth violence and its devastating consequences. The authorities are working diligently to ensure justice is served for Daejaun and his loved ones.
The court proceedings will continue as the individuals charged with the murder of Daejaun Campbell face legal proceedings. The impact of such a senseless act reverberates through the neighbourhood, highlighting the need for community support and solidarity during difficult times. The memory of Daejaun will be honoured as efforts are made to prevent similar tragedies in the future.
As the case progresses, the community remains united in seeking justice for Daejaun and advocating for a safer environment for young people. The hope is that through collective action and awareness, such heartbreaking incidents can be prevented, and communities can thrive without fear of violence.
