About

Another Slain Angel

He had been stabbed in the chest and stomach in Great Dover Street in south east London on June 17 after a confrontation with a group from another school.

David, a pupil of Walworth Academy, had been due to give an anti-knife crime speech at the Jack Petchey's Speak Out competition event two days after he was injured.

Walworth Academy principal Devon Hanson described the death as a "terrible and unnecessary" tragedy that left pupils and staff in shock.
