Friends and teachers have lavishly praised the 14-year-old boy killed in a sword attack in north London as “an amazing young man” and a “true scholar”.
Police have pledged to deliver justice for Daniel Anjorin, who attended the same private school as Nottingham stabbing victim Grace O’Malley-Kumar.
Bancroft’s School in Woodford Green, which said it was devastated by his killing, paid tribute to him as “a true scholar, demonstrating commendable dedication to his academic pursuits,” adding: “His positive nature and gentle character will leave a lasting impact on us.”
The school’s flag was today flying at half-mast.
Family friend Janti Charalambous said: “Daniel was an amazing young man. He was good at his studies. He was good at his sports. Very much loved by many, many people and came from a wonderful family. The family are in shock.”
Police want to question the 36-year-old suspect when he is released from hospital. Four other people were also taken to hospital.
Grace was attacked and killed in June last year as she sought to save her friend, Barnaby Webber, from their killer Valdo Calocane.
