A 14-year-old boy, known as 'Grippa', an aspiring rapper, was fatally stabbed on a double-decker bus in Woolwich, southeast London. Police are searching for the killer.
A 14-year-old boy who was stabbed to death on a double-decker bus in southeast London yesterday has been named locally as 'Grippa' - an aspiring rapper. The teenager was attacked on the 472 bus in Woolwich at around 2.30pm on Tuesday afternoon.He was treated by emergency services but he sadly died shortly after medics arrived. A manhunt is underway for the killer but police have confirmed no arrests have yet been made.
A Met spokesperson believes that the teen had previously paid tribute to Daejaun Campbell, 15, who was also stabbed to death in Woolwich back in September. Another teenage boy was stabbed and remains in a critical condition following an incident in the same area the previous day - but it is not yet known if the incidents are connected. The youngster who died - whose full name has not yet been shared - released a song called 'Bangers N Mash' on Christmas Day. One comment left on the teen's Instagram reads: 'Rip to my lil bro mayn young talent wasted bcs of postcode beef missing u already'. A friend of the boy told the Mirror: “That’s my friend. He’s my good friend. I used to see him after school, he didn’t deserve this. 'He was a nice person. I finished school and my mum told me he got stabbed. He was a very nice person. 'He was good at football, but I don’t think he was pursuing it as a career.” Mark Rodney, the chief executive of Project Lifeline, an organisation that works to tackle youth knife crime, described the killing as 'another devastating blow for the community'. 'We need to take heed in what's really happening in our communities and start seeking other channels to find solutions,' he said. 'He's a child, he's a baby, he hasn't lived his life yet.' The wounds are not healed yet in the community from the death of Daèjau
