LEWISHAM: Mass in memory of murdered boy
 |
| Jimmy Mizen was killed on Saturday |
Classmates of murdered pupil Jimmy Mizen will attend a mass in his memory today (May 12).
Jimmy was killed in an unprovoked attack at the Three Cooks shop at the junction of Burnt Ash Hill and Woodyates Road, Lee, at 11.50am on Saturday.
He suffered serious injuries to his neck and was pronounced dead at the scene.
This week would have been the start of the GCSE exam period for the 16-year-old at St Thomas More RC School.
The school's headteacher Markus Ryan said: "Jimmy was a very well liked, gentle student who always tried his best.
"Jimmy comes from a loving, large, Catholic family.
"Our thoughts and prayers are with Jimmy and his family at this very sad time.
"The school community is extremely shocked and saddened by today's tragic events.
"We are holding a leavers' mass today as it will be the last time we will have our Year 11 students together in the school.
"St Thomas Moore has a very caring, compassionate school community and that mass will be dedicated to Jimmy and his family."
Jimmy's dad is the deputy chairman of governors.
Mr Ryan added that the school will be considering what extra support it needs to offer to Jimmy's classmates during the already stressful GCSE period.
The vital witness to the attack who police were asking to come forward yesterday has now done so.
Anyone with information about the incident should call 020 8721 4205 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555111.
