Met arrests two men on suspicion of schoolboy zombie knife murder

Two men have been arrested on suspicion of stabbing to death a schoolboy with a zombie knife in south-east London, police said.

The suspects, aged 52 and 18, are being questioned over the murder of 15-year-old Daejaun Campbell who cried out, "I'm 15, don't let me die", as a local woman tried to save his life.

The Metropolitan police said it was called at about 6.35pm on Sunday evening to Eglinton Road, Woolwich, where they found Daejaun with a stab injury.

Despite the efforts of officers and paramedics, he died at the scene a short time later, according to police.

Det Ch Supt Trevor Lawry said: "My thoughts are with Daejaun's loved ones as they try and come to terms with this heart-breaking incident."

Anyone with information has been asked to call police on 0208 721 4005 quoting Operation Baghaze.
