Murder of Teenage Friends Months Apart Highlights London’s Gang Wars
31st July 2025
Dejaun Campbell, 15, lay bleeding to death from a stab wound on a London street he pleaded to a stranger, “call my mum”.
Among the friends who brought flowers to his shrine was Kelyan Bokassa, 14. Four months later and just a mile away, Kelyan cried “I want my mum” as he bled to death after being stabbed on a bus.
Two teenagers were convicted at the Old Bailey on Wednesday for Daejaun’s death, a week after two other teenagers were jailed for his friend’s murder at the same court.
