Two youths have admitted guilt in the homicide of a 14-year-old boy, who was fatally stabbed aboard a bus in south-east London.

Kelyan Bokassa was fatally assaulted in Woolwich on January 7.

The two 16-year-old boys, who cannot be identified due to legal restrictions, faced the Old Bailey on Friday, where they also confessed to possessing a knife.

Kelyan’s mother was heard weeping in the courtroom as the admissions were made. The sentencing is scheduled for Friday, July 25.
