Kelyan was attacked and killed as he travelled on the 472 bus on Woolwich Church Road on January 6. No arrests have been made. The Metropolitan Police said they are following ‘a number of lines of inquiry’ relating to the murder investigation, which has led to them wanting to speak to the teenagers.
