Grieving mother: "Daejaun didn't get the help he deserved"

Two teenagers have been sentenced to a combined total of 32 years following the fatal stabbing of 15-year-old Daejaun Campbell in Woolwich.

Marko Balaz and Imri Doue from South London both appeared at the Old Bailey where they were sentenced for the killing of Campbell.

His mother Jodian Taylor told Sky News: "I am living my worst nightmare that he is no longer here" and said her son "didn't get the help he deserved".
