Second boy charged with murder over shooting of 14-year-old Eghosa Ogbebor in Woolwich

A second boy has been charged with murder after a teenager was shot dead in Woolwich, southeast London.

Eghosa Ogbebor, 14, was found with serious injuries in Lord Warwick Street at around 3.40pm on 2 April and died at the scene.

A 16-year-old boy from Romford was charged with his murder last month and police have now also charged a 15-year-old boy.

He was arrested yesterday and will appear at Barkingside Youth Court later. Neither of the boys can be named as they are under 18.

A number of other people arrested in early April have been released on bail while inquiries continue.

They are: A 19-year-old man arrested on suspicion of murder; a 46-year-old man detained on suspicion of assisting an offender; a 14-year-old boy, 16-year-old boy and an 18-year-old man arrested in connection with Eghosa's death.
