Jamel Boyce died at a care home in Uffington Road, SE27, on 13 February 2022 as a result of injuries he sustained in a stabbing in October 2016.
Jamel was aged 17 when he was stabbed in Triangle Place, SW4, on 14 October 2016.
A post-mortem examination held on 16 February 2022 gave a provisional cause of death as a penetrating injury to his chest.

Following Jamel’s death, detectives from the Met’s Specialist Crime Command began a new investigation.
Last month, the Crown Prosecution Service authorised a charge of murder.
