The 15-year-old was found with a stab injury and died a short time later
A schoolboy who was stabbed to death in south-east London said 'I'm 15, don't let me die' as he lay bleeding, a witness has revealed. The 43-year-old woman told the PA news agency that she tried to save the teenager as he lay mortally wounded in the road outside her flat. Police were called at around 6.30pm on Sunday to reports of a disturbance on Eglinton Road, Woolwich. The boy was found at the scene with a stab injury and he died a short time later.
The witness went on: 'I asked if I could go and shower because I was covered in his blood, and they said 'yes' so I went in and showered. I come back out and they called me over because I was the last one with him he was going to me 'I'm 15, I'm 15, don't let me die' and I said to him 'you're not going to die, mate'.' She said the victim was 'the most polite boy' when she had encountered him around their neighbourhood.
