London schoolboy stabbed to death with zombie knife in Woolwich just two days before deadly weapon is banned
A schoolboy who was stabbed to death in London was attacked with a zombie-style knife, just two days before a ban against the deadly weapon comes into force.
The 15-year-old was found in a "massive pool of blood" on Eglinton Road in Woolwich at around 6.30pm on Sunday, and pleaded "don't let me die" shortly before passing away.
The Met Police have launched a murder investigation.
Speaking outside Plumstead Police Station on Monday, Chief Superintendent Trevor Lawry said: "The fact a 15-year-old teenager who had his whole life ahead of him has been taken from his family in this way is a stark and sobering reminder of the danger of zombie-style knives.
"We are committed to doing everything in our power to taking these weapons off the streets."
