Kelyan Bokassa was fatally injured on a route 472 bus.

Two teenagers have been charged with murdering a 14-year-old boy who was stabbed to death on a London bus.

Kelyan Bokassa was fatally injured on a route 472 bus in Woolwich, south-east London, last Tuesday.

Two boys, aged 15 and 16, who cannot be named for legal reasons, were charged in the early hours of Thursday, the Metropolitan Police said.

The pair will appear at Bromley Youth Court later today.

David Malone, of the Crown Prosecution Service, said: ““Our thoughts remain with Kelyan’s family and friends at this difficult time.

“The Crown Prosecution Service reminds everyone that criminal proceedings are active and each of the defendants has the right to a fair trial.

“It is extremely important that there be no reporting, commentary or sharing of information online which could in any way prejudice these proceedings.”
