A man has appeared in court charged with the murder of a 15-year-old schoolboy.

Daejaun Campbell was stabbed to death with a “zombie” knife on Eglinton Road in Woolwich, south-east London, on Sunday.

Neighbours described hearing the teenager cry out, “I’m 15, don’t let me die” as a local woman tried to save his life.

Jacob Losiewicz, 18, of Abbey Wood, south-east London, appeared in person at Bromley Magistrates’ Court on Thursday and spoke to confirm his name, address and date of birth during the brief hearing.

The defendant, wearing a grey tracksuit, waved at family members sat in the public gallery as he stood in the dock.

He was not asked to enter any pleas during the hearing.

District judge Lucy Corrin remanded Losiewicz into custody to next appear at the Old Bailey on September 30.

A second man aged in his 50s was arrested on suspicion of murder but has been released without charge, the Metropolitan Police said.
