Jimmy was killed in an unprovoked attack at the Three Cooks shop at the junction of Burnt Ash Hill and Woodyates Road at 11.50am yesterday (May 10).

He is believed to have been a pupil at St Thomas More Catholic Comprehensive School in Foots Cray Road.

Jimmy suffered serious injuries to his neck and was pronounced dead at the scene.

Speaking at a press conference near the scene today investigating officer Detective Chief Inspector Cliff Lyons said: "This offence is not gang related.

"This was an assault with an excessive use of violence; an unprovoked attack on a decent young man.

"I would particularly like to speak to a middle aged man inside the bakery who would have seen this incident.

"There are other people who have more information about this incident and I would also urge them to come forward."

Anyone with information should call 020 8721 4205 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
