14-year-old stabbed to death on Woolwich bus was due in court for machete charge
Court Date Set Over Machete Incident
Kelyan Bokassa, the teenager fatally stabbed on the 472 bus in Woolwich this Tuesday, 7 January, was set to appear at 123 confirmed no connection between the two murders has been found. The probe remains in its early stages.
There was also a non-fatal stabbing just a day before Bokassa’s murder — an 18-year-old was attacked on Prince Imperial Road on 6 January. Police say that incident is unrelated.
Police Urge Public to Come Forward

- Call 101, quoting incident ref 3795/07JAN25
