Jamel Boyce was left brain damaged after being stabbed in 2016 and died from his injuries in 2022.
A man whose victim died from his injuries more than five years after being stabbed has pleaded guilty at the Old Bailey to his murder.
Jamel Boyce was left blind, paralysed and unable to speak after being attacked in Clapham, south London, by Tyrese Osei-Kofi in October 2016. Mr Boyce, then 17, went into cardiac arrest after being attacked, and the lack of oxygen caused massive brain damage. Osei-Kofi handed himself into police six days after the knife attack, following media appeals in which his father recognised him, and was sentenced for 10 years for wounding with intent.The pair had been friends, the original trial heard, when they got into an argument at a fast food restaurant on Clapham High Street.like a pack of animals surrounding a buffaloOsei-Kofi held his right arm against his victim's neck to trap him before stabbing him and leaving.
