Two teenagers plead guilty to murdering schoolboy in machete bus attack

  • Two 16-year-old boys admitted murdering 14-year-old Kelyan Bokassa in a machete attack on a Woolwich bus on January 7, 2025.
  • The attackers knew Kelyan would be on the route 472 bus, boarded deliberately, and approached him with large machetes to carry out the assault.
  • Kelyan was stabbed around 27 times, including a severed femoral artery, and died shortly after emergency services arrived near Woolwich Ferry at 2:30 p.m.
  • Prosecutor Tom Little KC described the attack as “not a form of spontaneous incident,” emphasizing the defendants’ prior knowledge and premeditation.
  • Sentencing for the youths is scheduled for July 25, 2025, after reports are prepared, with a possible media application to lift reporting restrictions.
