Daejaun Campbell was stabbed to death with a “zombie” knife on Eglinton Road in Woolwich , south-east London , on Sunday.

Neighbours described hearing the teenager cry out, “I’m 15, don’t let me die” as a local woman tried to save his life.

Jacob Losiewicz, 18, of Abbey Wood, south-east London, appeared in person at Bromley Magistrates’ Court on Thursday and spoke to confirm his name, address and date of birth during the brief hearing.

The defendant, wearing a grey tracksuit, waved at family members sat in the public gallery as he stood in the dock.
