A man has been charged with the murder of a 22-year-old man who died more than six years after being attacked in Clapham.
Jamel Boyce died at a care home in Uffington Road, SE27, on 13 February 2022 as a result of injuries he sustained in a stabbing in October 2016.
Jamel was aged 17 when he was stabbed in Triangle Place, SW4, on 14 October 2016.
A post-mortem examination held on 16 February 2022 gave a provisional cause of death as a penetrating injury to his chest.
An investigation following the incident concluded with a man being convicted and jailed for inflicting grievous bodily harm with intent.
Following Jamel’s death, detectives from the Met’s Specialist Crime Command began a new investigation.
Last month, the Crown Prosecution Service authorised a charge of murder.
Tyrese Osei-Kofi, 24 (18.06.99), of no fixed address, is due to appear at Croydon Magistrates’ Court on Wednesday, 27 December.
Jamel’s family has been informed of this development and they continue to be supported by officers.
