TWO young men were spotted "fleeing with a machete" after a 14-year-old boy was fatally stabbed on a bus - as the killer remains at large two days later. Vince Seesarun, 31, a manager at a nearby estate agent, saw CCTV footage of the youths, who he said "couldn't even be 18" - with one carrying a "massive machete".

He said he saw them running away from the scene where Kelyan Bokassa was fatally stabbed in Woolwich Church Street. He added: "The footage basically shows two boys frantically running, no coverings (on their faces), massive machete about the size of my forearm.".

He said they ran past one of the orange and grey high-rise flat blocks overlooking Woolwich Church Street, towards the Thames Path which runs alongside the river. The two boys ran out of view of the CCTV camera towards the river and when they appeared in range of a second camera, they no longer had the weapon, he claimed.

He said footage then showed them walking east along the riverside path. "Something happens. There's the object gone after, then they were just calmly walking - that was the craziest part", he said. He added: "I'm sure" people could recognise them because of their lack of disguise.".

Keen footballer Kelyan died at the scene in Woolwich, south-east London, shortly before 2.30pm on Tuesday. His mum described her teenage son as "caring" in a poignant tribute. She said Kelyan lived on the streets in London for a year where he was groomed by gangs and "exposed to drugs" before his death.
