Two teenagers have pleaded guilty to the murder of a 14-year-old boy who was stabbed on a bus in south-east London.
Kelyan Bokassa was attacked and killed in Woolwich on 7 January.
The two boys, both aged 16, who cannot be named for legal reasons, appeared at the Old Bailey on Friday, where they also admitted to carrying a bladed weapon.
Kelyan’s mother was heard crying in court as the pleas were entered. Sentencing will take place on Friday 25 July.
The schoolboy was the first teenager to be killed by knife crime in the capital in 2025.
A court previously heard that Kelyan had been sitting at the back seat of the bus when two people both armed with “lengthy machetes” attacked him.
Despite the efforts of the bus driver, passengers and attending paramedics, Kelyan was pronounced dead shortly after being attacked.
